Chaser

Really liked this film and wish there was a way to view it more often. Disappointed it cannot be found online any more. After seeing this film for the first time, I recommended it to some close friends and they cussed me out since they could not find it on the Internet.

The plot of this 15-minute short follows a young schoolteacher who is drawn to bareback sex parties, but the film gives absolutely no insight whatsoever into why. Basically we simply observe the main character's life in one scene after another and then the film ends. There is a brief classroom segment where he discusses self-mutilating behavior with a young student that appears to possibly have a connection to his own behavior but it ends up going nowhere, which made me wonder why the scene was included in the film in the first place. The film's production values are quite good with some effective performances and impressive cinematography, but they're not enough to carry the film's complete lack of any kind of introspection or characterization of the main actor. Without much of a script, it seemed to me to to be mostly purposeless.

The life of a teacher at level of sketch. Not bad but in a sort of run, offering impression of a sort of very short documentary , correct in essence - family, problems studied in class, the very personal life ( when you are teacher, you have and explanation for attraction of this kind of parties ) and a neighbor proposition.

Well acted, the hurry of director to tell story in a sort of pills is the only sin.

But, sure, clues, suggestions and few details are enough for a pretty nice image of loneliness, passion for job and not very comfortable relation with family members .

The potential and the work of main actor impose little more than the final result.
