Red's Breakfast 2: Dawn of the Red

This is a very strange, yet charming little film. I first saw it at a film festival years ago and I was so happy to see that it has been released through a reputable distributor (time to throw away those 10th generation bootlegs!) It is obvious that it is an effort by a new director, but I believe that to be a good thing. Technically, it's a bit crude, but it's underlying charm and wit shine through. The director of this film loves violence and gore...this is apparent from the opening sequences, but he loves it not for reasons of brutality or cruelty. He turns this dirty violent little tale into a story about something that countless films have heralded: true love. He is showing that even the sickest and most depraved maniacs need a little affection, and someone to relate to. This creates an atmosphere of happiness and gaity that makes even a man getting his heart punched through his chest seem fun. Maybe I'm reading too much into this short little film, but it really stuck with me . Try to find "Soiled Shorts: The Best of Tromadance volume 1" (the >tape that it's available on) . You won't regret it. Now if only someone would release "Red's Breakfast 3 : Die You Zombie Bastards!" we'd all be in for a treat.
