I had to read up on a bit of history to understand the inspiration. Once I became familiar with the historical context, it was clear what the filmmaker wanted to achieve and bravo to the actor for the hard work. Being a filmmaker, I can really appreciate the thought and work, that went into the presentation, it's not easy to keep a single scene going so long with content that is moving the story along. I also think it's not easy to attack such a complicated topic in a phone call scene. I think the actor kept it entertaining with comic relief for the audience and at the same time keep the story moving as the film takes us deeper into the story. I would like to see a bit more establishing scenes, I think that will help the audience understand the concept, perhaps a short sequence to set the context for the scene ahead and then I think that will increase the impact and maybe few subtitles to relate to the government document as the story progresses. Otherwise I give big points for the concept idea and pulling it off - great work! I would love to see more work from these two great talents!
