'I'll Wait for the Next One...' is a dark comedy short film that was made in 2002 in France. A woman who wants a romantic partner rides the subway. When she is riding the subway, a man introduces himself. He makes a speech about his name, his work, and his salary, and how he wants a wife. However, another man who is married says: "Stay single!" and talks about why a man who wants a wife should not get married. After a quarrel between the two men, the man who wants to get married says a woman who wants to get married with him should get off the train. I enjoy this film because the woman has rich emotions. The woman does not say anything, but she is expressive. So, I can understand her thinking and enjoy it. For example, when a couple is passing on the other side of the escalator, she stares at them. We can feel she wants a lover because of her fine behavior. In this way, we can understand her thinking without her dialogue. The action of the man who wants a lover is also funny. I have not seen a performance like his and I can enjoy this action that is not in everyday life. In short, you can enjoy it!
Oh, this broke my heart! The filmmaker showed such skill as he told the story of the woman on the train with no words whatsoever. The actress was great. She just really brought to life her loneliness, from her buck teeth to her terrible scarf. She was just trying so hard. This was super-great. Except it was a bit devastating in the end...
I'll Wait for the Next One sets itself up as a cute little comedy skit, and it delivers on that premise but also surprises you with an incredibly moving finale. Four minute comedies are not supposed to be as moving as this film is, it's funny, charming, and heartbreaking all at the same time, showing you your emotions in a combination that they are not generally found. I can't recommend this movie enough. By the end of the diminutive film you feel like you have known the characters for years, especially the lead man and the woman looking for love, probably because they so perfectly represent.
The look on the man's face and the woman's face at the end of the film are brief moments of sheer performing brilliance rarely seen, especially in a short film, which itself is rarely seen. Seek this one out, you will laugh and you will cry, and most of all you will be moved.

"I'll Wait For The Next One" is a French short comedy drama film. It was made in 2002. A woman walks to the station with a lonely expression. When she gets on the train, a man also gets on it to introduce himself and says that he is looking for love to passengers in a loud voice. The woman has a puzzled look at first, but she comes to be interested in what he says and sympathize with his view of love. It is a story with a surprise ending. The title implies that the women waits for her destiny and I think she is so bored in her daily life so that she wants to believe the one and fate. However, I suppose the man makes fun of the women who are looking for partners seriously and I don't think it is a funny joke. I sympathized with her in the film. Furthermore, I have empathic embarrassment to watch this film. I believe people who care what other people think much would feel this embarrassment. I think the film is worth watching because it gives the audience the lesson that there some things are too good to be true.
"I'll wait for the next one" is a short film released in 2002 and shot in France. The main character is a woman who has no boyfriend or husband and feels so alone that she follows a couple passing her on the escalator to the metro platform with her eyes. On the train she boards, a young man introduces himself and starts to give a speech about how he is looking for love. She is interested in what the young man has to say and listens with a smile.
Although the film has dialogue, it is very interesting that the main character has no dialogue and expresses her emotions through her facial expressions.
As well as the changes in the woman's facial expressions, the film also shows the reactions of other passengers on the same train to the young man's speech, which I felt made it easier to understand the woman's emotions through the contrast.
