Violine

I enjoyed this short film from Roman Ilyushenko. A good, tasteful storyline sympathetically crafted for the screen by the director. Although it is in German, the English subtitles very quickly make you forget it. I particularly enjoyed the original music , with a subject such as a violin it would have been easy to use some populist pieces. Julian Lembke's score matched the mood of the film very well. Johannes Huth and Hannes Sell acted well and brought a natural and believable professionalism to their roles, this is so often missing in short films of this genre. Without the need for showing physical intercourse, Ilyushenko is restricted in his realisation of this encounter, yet manages in twelve minutes to give us what most directors can only hope to achieve in three times that time. His story is both simple and engaging, moving and uplifting despite its lack of complication, showing us the transcendent power of music. A 'well-worth watching' short film, both engaging and uplifting which deserves to do well.

I have watched this film at least 13 times today, and I have to say something. It is so short, and it just leaves you with a cliffhanger. So you sit there; for 4 or so minutes, contemplating an ending. Thinking of all the routes the story could go. Do they keep seeing each other? Or do they grow afraid of love because no one could make up with a lifetime what they had in a few minutes. It's truly artistic, and doesn't fall into the cliché gay films (I've watched them all- I would know.) This should be made into a full length film- my tear ducts cannot make anymore tears over the unlimited endings possible. The actors in this film are truly amazing. They make you feel something. This is the best short film on the internet. VERY WELL DONE! Thank you so much for producing this and PLEASE MAKE A FULL VERSION! <3

The photography is perfect, the screenplay is awesome, the blond actor is extremely talented, the romantic scene is powerful but the whole movie is so short I can cry! I am looking forward to writing what comes next. Thank you for this. It is simple. It is relatable. I could feel it. I still do.

a moving film. simple, wise, delicate. about the music. and its force to give a clear connotation to an ordinary meet between two young men. the splendid way to suggest the magic of a moment is the axis of a story about a not extraordinary event. but the dialogue, the acting , the clash between two different manners to assume the life with a common detail, the touch who change everything and who seems represent the result of impulse, all becomes tool for exploration of a form of beauty who only the music could create. one of short films who must see. for the refined director to give a simple, delicate story about a violin and a meet.
