"True Love" is a crazy short film about a gunman who enters a store, abducts a man and a woman, and forces them to get married, have sex, and raise a child in a house. It's pretty bizarre, but it's kinda funny. Why is the gunman doing all of this? I have absolutely no idea. It's never explained.
Amazingly, the gunman is with these people for five years. How does he sleep and use the bathroom? Does he generally lock them in a room when he sleeps, showers, and uses the toilet? I'm not sure I believe that this guy can force these people to do what he wants for five years without them escaping and/or calling the police. Who's house are they living in? How do they buy groceries to stay alive? There's a priest who's in the wedding scene and the sex scene, but that's it. Well, what happened to him? Did the gunman kill him? Is it even fair to ask all these questions? I don't know, but I still enjoyed the film. Maybe you're not supposed to think too much about it.
The acting is definitely good. The guy who plays the gunman gives an impressive performance. The film has a low budget look to it and while the cinematography isn't great, it certainly isn't awful. There seem to be a lot of handheld camera shots, although I could be wrong. There were at least a couple of times when I wished the camera would just be still, but it's not a big deal. The film is funny, strange, and interesting enough for me to recommend it.
