J'attendrai le suivant...

I will wait for the next one is a short film and the leading character is a woman who has no dialogue. When she arrives at the station and goes down on the escalator, her gaze is drawn to a couple. She looks sad and bored by her day-to-day life. On the train, a man suddenly introduces himself and speaks out that he is looking for a lady who can share true love with him and then asks passengers to get off at the next station if interested. She gets curious.... While I think this film is flawless in its technical aspects, after I watched it, I felt really frustrated about the narrative. Contrary to the man, the woman doesn't say anything and only has facial expressions, but I can image her romantic background for some reason such as marital status in the past. I am curious about what happens next for the woman and the man and the situation on the train. I think this film is worth watching.

'J'attendrai le suivant' is a comedy short film set in a French metro. The film opens with the main character, a woman, walking through the city to catch the metro, looking a little lonely as she gazes languidly at a couple passing her on the escalator. She boards the arriving train, and as it departs, a man begins to tell her a funny story about himself. He looks for a woman to keep him company, to change his boring routine, and talks about his attractiveness and the kind of woman he wants. The passengers around him laugh, but he turns to the passengers and seriously encourages them to get off at the next station if they are interested.

When watching the film, I want you to focus on the facial expressions of the protagonist. While the conversation unfolds in the metro train, depictions of her listening in are frequently included. Although she has no dialogue at all, her facial expressions surpass those of the other characters and you can easily understand her emotions. (I favour her forlorn, angry expressions.)

It was strange that although the other side of the boarding gate was dark (there was no platform) in the scene where the protagonist got on the train, the platform is visible at the back in the scene where her expression is shown immediately afterwards (the camera should be facing the opposite side of the boarding gate...). Apart from that, however, the camera work was felt to be good because it was from the protagonist's side to capture the man developing his personal story. Above all, the acting and story are beyond reproach and well worth watching.

A lonely woman goes on about her life until one day, the ride on her usual train takes an unexpected turn, changing her life in the mere span of a few minutes.

It's a well-crafted short, from start to finish. The actress does a magnificient job showing the sad, lonely side of the character, which makes the audience take a liking on her earlier in the short. There's humour in it too, and the cadence of the dialogue makes the audience follow the slow but steady flow of the plot.

The simplicity and familiarity of the setting (coming home from work, getting on the train to share your personal space with strangers for as long as the ride lasts) adds to showing how easily events in the short could happen in real life. How humans can be cruel without meaning to, and how they can also be very naive when hope is an option.

The naiveness of the woman, her hope to finally stop feeling lonely, is what gives this short that special touch.

"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.

I'll Wait For the Next One is sad film.

There is a single women. She has hopes of being with someone. She ride a train. Suddenly, a man began to speak. He is a single man, and looking for a partener. He said If you are impressed by my speech, Would you like to get off with me at the next station? Then, she is impressed and get off the train...

In this film, She has no dialogue, but her expression shows all her emotions. Her action is amaizing. It's a very short moment in life, but It had a huge impact on her life. This film deal with love. The issue of love is very important for single women. This film reveals the fact. It makes me a little sad. I reccomend it.
