'SILENT FALL': Four Stars (Out of Five)
Another Swedish short film, from filmmaker Jarno Lee Vinsencius. This one is a psychological drama flick; about a man contemplating suicide, on the edge of a cliff, that's visited by a strange woman. It's just 3-minutes long, and it once again stars actors Demis Tzivis and Joanna Haggblom (they also starred in Vinsencius's sci-fi short flick 'DARKNESS FALLS'). Vinsencius also once again wrote, produced, edited, filmed and directed the short. I enjoyed it.
The short tells the story of a man, named Sam (Tzivis), who's obviously thinking about committing suicide; while standing on the edge of a cliff and drinking whiskey. Suddenly a woman, named Amy (Haggblom), walks up next to him. She questions him, about his plans, and then tries to convince him to get a bite to eat with her (before they both kill themselves). Sam begins to have passionate visions, of the two of them together, during possibly a past (or future) relationship.
The movie leaves a lot up to interpretation. I think I know what happened in it, but it's definitely not clear. I like that about this type of movie though; and at just 3-minutes, you definitely don't need to know any more details. The film is pretty emotional, darkly comedic at times, and bizarre (all things I love in movies). It's nicely filmed, and edited (by Vinsencius); and the performances are both good and memorable. At just 3-minutes, you definitely can't go wrong by giving it a view; and (once again) I can't wait to see what Vinsencius does next.
