Groundhog Hour

Warning: Spoilers
"12:01 PM" is an American short film from over 25 years ago that runs for slightly under an hour. It was written by Jonathan Heap and is probably still his best-known work today because of the Oscar nomination it scored. And even if it did not win, then the topic similar to "Groundhog Day" stays in people's minds, especially as this one came out 3 years earlier and is thus even more original. We follow a man who has to live through the exact same hour of the day again and again and, unsurprisingly, quickly descends into insanity, even if a beautiful woman makes things look good for a while. It's certainly much darker than "Groundhog Day", but if you loved the Billy Murray film, this one here is certainly worth checking out. i thought it was a pretty solid watch, especially the first half if the film. Thumbs up.
