Definitely one to watch for...
I share a similar experience to many of the other posters regarding this short movie.
Late at night, over twenty years ago, flipping channels. I'm not a big fan of foreign language films but sometimes a rare gem comes along that never leaves you.
Despite having no real dialogue, you understand everything that is happening and you can follow the story from it's innocent beginnings to it's dark ending.
I have largely forgotten many of the details of this film, but it is the overall effect that stays with you long after the movie has finished.
I think the phone box was originally in a plaza and I remember the lorry ride with the hapless man on display in the over-sized 'fish bowl' for all to see.
One of those gems that rarely gets shown again. Definitely a contender for BBC FOUR to broadcast. Especially given it's short running time and provoking nature.
I think I'll email them!
