Sadly missing a number of shorts due to signing up late to the Soho Horror Film Festival,I was pleased to find one play before A Little More Flesh II (2021-also reviewed),which led to me getting set to meet Lili.
View on the film:
Taking place in just one-room, writer/director Yfke van Berckelaer & cinematographer Rogier Jaarsma gradually turn up a thick atmosphere of dread, from the camera slowly seeping towards a close-up of Lili,as the casting director (whose face remains off-screen) becomes increasingly abusive.
Touching on the abuse scandals in the film industry that have been revealed over the last few years, the screenplay by Berckelaer records deeply unsettling psychological torment from the casting director using his position of power to force himself upon Lili.
The lone figure to appear fully on screen,Lisa Smit gives a brilliant performance in the title role, with the ice cold fear Lili experiences from the increasingly abusive treatment, becomes burning with anger,as the casting director fails to notice the miss-direction from Lili.
