Absolutely fascinating

A black and white silent movie where you don't miss the words nor the colors. This is a short movie worth watching. Based on George Bizet opera Carmen, four characters living in a junkyard of sorts, swirl in a whirlwind of emotions, while constructing the most bizarre vehicle you can imagine.

The acting is superb and the pace of the movie changes from slow to ultra-high speed to grip your attention. Once you are looking a the screen you don't want to move your face away from the TV.

This is a serious movie, even though it can be hilarious at times.

Highly recommended.
