Medusa's Ankles

I'm in love with this film! Such powerful character development in a short film.

I can't stop to watching it, looking for all the meaningful delicious details the director underlines to convey a subtle emotion. A gentle hand on the shoulder, a smile and an eye contact through the mirror, gradually replaced by a brusque gesture, a raised eyebrow, an indelicate comment. I find very moving and intriguing the way everything tends from a sweet beginning to the dramatic end. The script is very respectful towards the original beautiful short story, and the actors are so natural and well matched that it has something magic.
