Timecode (2016)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
This Spanish short has Luna (Lali Ayguade) working the day shift at a parking garage. At night it's Diego (Nicholas Ricchini) doing the same job. One day Luna checks the monitors from the night before and notices Diego doing some sort of strange dance, which leads to the two of them having some fun with one another.
TIMECODE not only received an Oscar-nomination for Best Short Film but it also won the Palme d'Or for the Best Short. I'm not going to sit here and say this is a bad movie because it isn't but at the same time I'm failing to see why it's gotten so much praise from certain areas. It's certainly charming and the two leads are quite good but it really didn't strike me as something that you'd consider great. I think the film benefits from the charm of the two lead actors and their dances are mildly entertaining. Outside of that I just didn't see anything overly spectacular about the picture.
