Cosmic Joke

[sparklecat · 18 September 2004]

Jeff Stanzler's short "Mocking the Cosmos" is a little movie with some big ideas and a startlingly black sense of humor. The plot concerns a nasty divorced couple (Tim Roth and Kelly Rowan) and their bright young son (Jonathan Farkas). The bickering parents are contrasted with an intergalactic drama that only magnifies their pettiness.

The acting is quite good, with all of the adult cast members taking on disparate dual roles. Roth has never given us reason to doubt his versatility, and there's certainly a taste of it here.

Multiple viewings may increase your appreciation of this one. You're never as big as you think you are!

Seems odd that it can.t be viewed,i imagine the makers are trying to get money any way they can,, so somewhere its available for a cost,, that indicates the producer is broke.the actorsare well known especially tim roth,, he is good,, i think this short film was not a picture that helped his career, kelly rowan i seen her in other films ,, she is also very good,, but i don't understand why they never made it really big,, like acadamy award big, they are qualified andhave the talent, the makers of the film i can understand never got to far in terms of making blockbuster movies, but they make a living and get buy.
