Artistic film based on a poem
charmaine-jelbert17 January 2013
I really like this movie. An intriguing story, which is really beautifully and intelligently shot. The actors play their parts incredibly well and added something to the whole mystique of the film. I was captivated by the poem, which provided the dialogue for the movie and was cleverly executed. The poem was a love story of sorts and combined with the filming it gave the many layers to the film. The different ways in which it could be interpreted and the ambiguity in each shot really made the film fascinating. There were very beautiful and well-balanced shots. It was done in 8mm, which again provided something unique to the movie. It is a short-film and these are normally harder to capture as much as this one did, without becoming too messy and overcrowded. A beautiful concept and elegantly executed. I walked out of the theatre thinking about the movie for a long time after, still trying to working out all the pieces.

An enigmatic & captivating short film!

Do not miss this one.

I most enjoyed the fascinating ambiguity and unique feel.

Also that it was done in 8M is very cool :-) The film is structured around a wonderful poem, and is a dream-like love story.

Or was it a memory of real love story? Such a beautiful enigma woven with great camera work and style.

The mystery made it more hard for me to stop thinking of it.

other layers that made me watch it again the next day on my phone while on the train in Spain.

The soundtrack also was very well done, something that many short films often seem to lack budget or time for.

Kudos to the director and actors.Such a captivating short film! I hope they all do a longer film soon.

best from España,
