Love Eterne [Mourning]

Love Eterne is a short film that seems more like a snippet of a larger film idea as opposed to a self-contained film in and of itself. This is not a complaint...just a comment about the style of the short. Instead of a beginning, middle and end, the picture picks up in the middle and the actresses (Melissa Navia and Bonnie Piesse) do a very nice job.

It seems that a man has just very recently died. His fiancée (Medina) is, not surprisingly, depressed and withdrawn when I friend stops by to check on her. Sidonia is naturally worried and tries to help her friend deal with this great loss. Unusually, you learn that the visiting friend has psychic abilities and Medina wishes that Sidonia had somehow known that the man would die....and perhaps warned her not to fall in love and waste the last three years of her life.

Joseph Villapaz constructed a story that left me wanting more. He also was fortunate to have two very talented actresses. As a result, the story is very professionally made and well worth seeing. Although depressing in a way, it's well worth seeing.
