Checked out the watchlist and I added this short that was a part of a movie festival selection and gave it a chance...Yeah I don´t get it. It's a make of it what you will kind of shorts. I think it can be read and interpreted in a lot of ways, but to a point where the short feels rather pointless to begin with. While there are aspects I liked this was just not for me.
A man in peril is surrounded by 7 boats.
As mentioned this is a bit of a make of it what you will kind of shorts with lots of interpretations to add to this. It is rather hard to read as no dialogue is present and you the viewer can make of the evets what you want. I see a prodigious society not helping a man in need, but what you think is as correct. That is kind of the problem with a short like this. We are presented to think what we will but that leaves what we have to just be a rather slow and uneventful movie.
This makes the point rather pointless. There is not much ti derive here and overall the filmmaking is present but it has no weight behind it.
The visuals are nice with black and white water always being a hit. But this movie is painfully slow. It is 10 minutes of no dialogue, a slow pan and a stay at a man swimming, that's what you get, the sound side is not much better since we are presented with a man in peril and a dog barking, annoying but adding to the destress I guess.
It just becomes a now real pay-off movie and my artistic mind simply can´t connect the dots to something more interesting than a simple story and that makes the commitment to this rather boring.
