Bad Day, Good Day, Bad Day

I love that some cable movie channels use the time between major screenings to showcase short films that people would not normally get the opportunity to see. Some are really good and others are merely good efforts.

Bad Day, Good Day, Bad Day is one of the better efforts I've seen lately. The premise is simple - man is out for a walk. The choreography of the very large cast of background performers creates first the feeling of dull energy bordering on depressive. As the man walks on and turns the corner, so does the energy of the world and people around him, music and rhythm becoming lighter, brighter, more hopeful. Then he crosses the street and it changes again.

When you watch this great gem, pay as much attention to what's going on behind him, as watching the main character.
