Slice of Life

Visually I would give the film a perfect score, especially given that it was made in humbler surroundings and not by some Hollywood studio. However, I didn't feel the look was something that was new to me if I search outside the local cinema. I understand that filmmakers probably didn't intend to bring something completely new to the table and instead wanted to make an homage. That is perfectly legitimate but it stops me from wanting to give it the highest grade. I felt the main actor didn't perform perfectly either but overacted at times. Having said that, I still think the film offered more than most other films made in our country and overall the people who made it should be congratulated; hopefully we'll see more things from them.

The attention to detail in this production is second-to-none. Even the musical score and set dressing in the night club scene is accurate to the film that it pays tribute to. How is it that a super low-budget independent production like this was able to accurately capture the style of the 1982 Blade Runner film effects and sets while every multi-million dollar Hollywood attempt to do something like Blade Runner has failed miserably?

People who see Slice of Life owe it to themselves to also check out the behind the scenes videos that outline the research that went into this production and the process that the film-makers used for creating the shots. It's like handing someone sticks, stones, a few pieces of string, and a $20.00 bill while telling them to make something with scenes that stand up to the cyberpunk world of Blade Runner. Impossible? Apparently not.

Kudos to the patience and raw talent displayed in this work of art. The major studios would be insane not to hire these people.

It's clear that this short film was heavily inspired by Bladerunner but it seemed too much like a rip-off of both Bladerunner films and the Cyberpunk game combined, only on the aesthetic and sociological level. It is lacking in the philosophical depth of Philip K. Dick and other works associated with science fiction and the cyberpunk genre, which is probably an unfair criticism based on the high bar set by such writers, but it's worth noting. Fully aware that this would be hard to achieve within the confines of a short film, I do feel that even if this story was given a feature-length opportunity and budget I still believe it would fall flat.

Aesthetically very slick and cool while maintaining the dirty underground feel it successfully executes, but some of the corny imagery and particularly cheesy soundtrack takes away from what would otherwise be a rewatchable sci-fi short.

Given the criticism, I am however impressed with what was achieved on this reportedly limited budget, and would certainly give other films by Luka Hrgovic and/or Dino Julius a watch to see how they each develop their craft.

I really liked this film. It Is beautiful and entertaining. The practical effects in this film were as identical to the original Blade Runner. The lack of dialogue in this film made it relaxing and will be good way to watch when you're in bed.

The world and atmosphere these guys have created to build the cyberpunk world was basically flawless, from the colors, VFX, practical effects and costuming. This is the most accurate Blade Runner type film I've ever seen. I hope we get to see more movies like this in the future. 20 minutes was a great runtime for 'Slice of Life'. Wish Harrison Ford could be in it. 8/10.

A real good film noir with wise touch of Blade Runner. Smart crafted story about a drug dealer looking for money for a radical change of his life. A desperate gesture. A cop and his blackmail. And the run to profit by opportunity.

The care for each detail, the musical score , the atmosphere and, not the last, the performances are the precious good points of this short film who reflects a splendid cinematographyc culture and a high respect for audience.

The result of entire effort is a great short film crowned by the perfect end.

And this has as result the emotional implication of viewer in the facts of guy looking to obtain his fair slice of life.
