    reflection

    about fundamental themes. admirable precise cuts. provocative story. bitter poetry of image and dialogue and script. a film about sense. picture of a generation. fascinating, strange, seductive, interrogation to viewer about fears and fragile answers and selfishness and solitude and need of the other and sense of the death. a film who, after a time, must see again. for the state who has its as source. for a bizarre beauty. for the questions, dialogues and answers. and for the status of mirror.

    Short and strange with video art and strong cuts

    I'm not a reviewer, but this short movie was one, I wanted to hit the keyboard for. Some 15 years ago I had a chance to work with Bela Tarr, and I have learned the need of strength in the cuts. Bela loved long shuts, while Michael likes a little longer then very short, and this gave his short film the strength.

    The Summary tells my feelings: "Short and strange with video art and strong cuts"

    So what I've really meant:

    Short: You'll fell the need to watch it longer

    Strange: Loved the depression and the strange questions (eg.: happy at the funeral)

    Video art: The fades, the strings, the shocks...

    Strong cuts: Both the director and the editor knew exactly where and when to cut. Nice and strong cuts, with great rhythm.
