When I heard this was Grimas' student film, his final project, I wasnt expecting much, but MAN was it clever and so technically brilliant. The use of sound is (obviously!) the biggest and most noticable aspect of this short film. It manages to convey mystery and sheer power along with humour.
The visuals in the film are amazing, with the merging of the theatre stage and the silver screen......very clever. Also loved the surreal element of the film suddenly becoming 'real'.
Most of all I loved the idea of the the 'artiste' who came from nowhere, for an unknown purpose, and disapeared as mysteriously as he'd arrived. And the final moment, with the smashing of the monitor screen had me in stitches.
One of the best shorts I've ever seen, and if this was a student film I hope Mr Jostein Grimas recieved a good mark!!!!
