Next Floor (2008)
4/10
Forgettable early short by Denis Villeneuve
15 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is a 12-minute (9 or 10 without credits) live action short film from 7 years ago and it is mostly known because it was directed by Canadian Denis Villeneuve. In the years after this movie here, one of his works was nominated for a Foreign Language Oscar and, more recently, he worked successful with Jake Gyllenhall on several films. This one here, however, is from long before that. We see a bunch of gross and disgusting men at a gigantic table filled with all kinds of delicacies. They keep eating and when they are too fat they fall down to the next floor. This is what the title refers to. They keep eating. They keep falling. And so on. But what is going to happen in the end? All in all, a fairly uninteresting repetitive short film I must say. I enjoyed some of the director's later works, but this one here does not impress me. Would have been fine at 5 minutes max as well. Not recommended.
