    A promising director

    "Number 27" is an intriguing short film that has garnered attention for its intense and dreamlike storyline, especially considering it's the director Leonardo Rosalba's debut work at the young age of 19. The film delves deep into the protagonist's mental turmoil, taking the audience on a gripping journey through his psychological struggles.

    Rosalba's direction is surprisingly adept for a first-time filmmaker, and the cinematography and editing choices create an immersive atmosphere that plunges viewers into the protagonist's psyche. The portrayal of the protagonist's inner duality is visually compelling, enhancing the emotional engagement of the audience.

    The plot of "Number 27" is enthralling, focusing on the life of an award-winning actor, but above all, a father, as he grapples with an internal conflict that drives him to commit a tragic mistake with no possibility of redemption. The storytelling keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, following the tormented journey of the lead character.

    While there is room for improvement, given that this is Rosalba's debut short film, the overall result is commendable. Some scenes could have been further developed to provide deeper insights into the characters and their relationships, but this does not overshadow the film's general success.

    In conclusion, "Number 27" by Leonardo Rosalba is a promising short film that showcases the emerging talent of this young director. His ability to create an immersive atmosphere and explore complex themes is praiseworthy. Despite being a first-time effort, the short film offers an engaging and thought-provoking experience that deserves the audience's attention.
