        precise beauty

        It is not original. Only precise, in admirable manner. A kind of picture of loneliness and love and break up and meets and memories. Nothing unknown but, being so familiar, it works in great manner. A simple and beautiful short film about young men and about the fragility of connection between them. The precious gift - the feelings after its end because, more a good short film, it could be a song in images.

        Like a haiku

        A brief, dialogue-less short about two boys who meet, love, break up, in the subway. The running NYC subway, like Democritus' river, provides a complete yet very simple image of fluidity. Everything is done through facial expressions. In Varpness' case, very beautiful facial expressions.

        In a brief few minutes, Brunskill etches in the poignancy, perplexing quality and impermanence of everything save heartache. No fireworks or cant. It's like a haiku.

        It is stated here that Mr Brunskill intends to expand this short into a full feature. It will be interesting to see how this will be done, considering the admirable economy with which this short intimates the basic point.
