nostalgic air

Not very easy to define the sources of seduction of this short film. Fair to identify them in the splendid performance of Curtis Jackson and Wzndie Oliver. In the reaction of Patrick P.rentiss character.

But first, I suppose, is the nostalgia air the basic ingredient of a real special state of soul.

A pure beautiful film like a familiar piece of jazz.

An hommage to past career, a gentle portrait of oldness and the ambiguous relation with near reality.

In fact, this is the good point - not a story but enough breacks for a state so familiar . And the wise perspective of Kyle Taubken is admirable helped by beautiful job of Curtis Jackson.
