Ange & Ovni

I saw this at the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and it was a film that was joyously received by a packed audience. It's a film that perfectly balances the dramatic with the whimsical, the human with the magical, the truthful with the mythical. It's glued together by a wonderful central performance by 'Angel' - but this is also a short that proves a film is always more than the sum of its parts. From the directing, cinematography, writing and even to the sound design which bubbles up beneath the surface and provides a sense of foreboding and menace, it's a film which stays in the mind long after the credits have rolled and caused much discussion in the screening I attended.

I saw it as a reflection , in a huge mirror, of soul states. Beautiful out of words, great in each detail, refreshing and poetic in profound sense, Short, a profound useful gem. Or admirable kick to wake up and self definition.
