Lamb (2002)
Review of lamb, directed by Emma Freeman
It is a wonder that Emma Freeman's film was 2002 winner of the largest shot film festival ,Tropfest "lamb" explores themes such as friendship and poverty, and will have you both smiling and tearing up during its seven minute duration.
The short film gives insight into the dark lives of a young blind boy and his farmer father who are poor. How will this family survive.Sometimes friendship comes in the most unexpected forms. the short film you will watch, lamb, is set on rural farm in Australia during a drought.The plot is simple but powerful.The seven minute film centres around a farmer and his young son who finds living a solace in his pet lamb, the last living animal on their farm.
The music and theme is great because it really added both emotion and happiness to the film.The colours are brown,black and cream which really added to the fact that they are poor. This film would be really suitable for secondary schools.The angle of the camera is also very exposing of the characters expressions.
The only bad thing was that there could have a bit more talking as there was not much interaction as sometimes you don't understand whats happening.
So over all the short film was good but could of being better as it was very graphic in some scenes.I would give 'Lamb' three stars.
