The Language of Love

'The Language of Love' is so unique and beautiful that it has definitely made it onto my list of top short films. It is a soliloquy that tells the story of first love and coming face to face with the truth even though it can be difficult.

The dialogue is down to earth and moving while the camera shots are professional and memorizing. For the full ten minutes I was captivated by the great story telling and the overall honesty that was portrayed in this short film. It made me laugh, smile, cry and crave for more minutes. Sadly, it is only a short film and not full length no matter how much one wishes.

It leaves you with the message that love is special and has no boundaries, therefore just for that reason alone everyone should watch it.

a French classroom test. and a touching speech. about the first love. about the essence and structure and experiences and expectations of it. it is easy to say than Laura Scrivano does a great job, than Kim Ho is amazing, convincing and impeccable, than the camera reflects entire map of state . but, after its end, you knows - it is not enough. because the film propose another perspective about deep and well known experience. this change everything. so, a film about love. simple, convincing, touching. maybe, an experience.

Wonderfully directed by Laura Scrivano, but stunningly written and acted by Kim Ho, it's all about a teen's adoration of his best friend Sam, who does not know. It's done in close up, with Kim thinking out loud in a classroom, inner feelings expressed, but never in the open, Kim does not look directly into the camera. He isn't talking to the audience, or the classroom, but to himself, addressing his situation with a deep, intelligent, and stimulating inner honesty that immediately draws the viewer into his life and his thoughts and evokes instant empathy. Kim Ho is a great writer, it's immediately obvious, AND a great and engaging actor, too! I would not be surprised to see him become a world renown actor or writer one day, and this film is the proof! I hope to see this film nominated for many awards, Well done!
