Baba

The cat is more than the witness of tension and truth but the main character , in an episode defined by wise craft of tension using only three actors, a discover in cellar and the storm. Nothing special but just inspired used.

Nancy Keller proposes a great portrait of isolated woman, expecting her husband, front to propositions of cab driver and a terrible discover.

A great portrait of crime, step by step, a simple story with powerful effect, a beautiful definition of characters and, no doubts, the admirable Baba as axis of tensions, murder, fears and the result of tensioned atmosphere.

In short, impecable work.
