Yes, I love watching Kino Ogon (or Cinema Fire) and their videos as well. But today I want to talk about their first short called The Listener.
Let's start with the positives of the short film. There is a great staging, and the idea that a couple in love suspects each other of murders and in the end does not reveal the identity of a maniac is pretty cool. There is also metaphor and an interesting message. The color correction of the film and its soundtrack are very scary, even without any jumpscares.
Let's move on to the minuses, without them there is no way in any film. Despite the good acting, everyday dialogues sound unnatural, while the voices of the actors seem to be superimposed on their faces. Their acting at the beginning leaves much to be desired, but in general it turned out very well: spoiler, this short film received many awards at many award ceremonies.
Summing up, I can say that this short film is very good, as is Cinema Fire's attempt to take the path of cinema. I wish them the same creative success and a speedy release of the new short film "A Bedtime Story". I'm looking forward to it!
