El Elegante

I saw this film as part of the Alibi Short Film Festival in Albuquerque, NM. Most of the films were nothing but tripe, but El Elegante was so beautiful it made me want to tear my pants off and twirl them around my head. The production design is stellar, reminiscent of the work of Aline Bonetto or David Wasco. There is very little dialogue, but the film is smartly crafted in essence and feel. The characters are quirky, the actors refreshing. Vince Di Meglio and Tim Rasmussen are intelligent absurdists who obviously have a long career ahead of them. Take note.
