lovely

[Kirpianuscus · 20 December 2018]

Venice. Two strangers. A long phone call. And two confusions. And that is all. But the result is more than nice. A place like a labyrinth. The clues for meeting. The meeting itself. And the new looking for the other. I t is not easy to say the source of its seduction.The cinematography, the dialogue, the performances, the memories, in my case , about Anonimo Vetiziano . But it is one of that short films giving more than you could expect. In simple and honest manner. As a sort of seeds for discover the beautiful side of near reality. And it is enough.

A guy devises the most cumbersome, confusing plan to get laid. And fails (probably)...

I find this short movie very annoying. First, it seems like our main hero, photographer beta male is doing his hardest NOT to meet up with the girl, using the most convoluted ways to locate her. It's the modern age for crying out loud, and you can ask for directions. You can also ask around to find out where you are, set up a meeting point via phone, then go there. But no. I see a bridge. I see a tower. Yeah, the gal is a little bit... difficult, but still! I mean come on, even if you are unable to speak italian, it's not that freaking hard to navigate a world famoust tourist attraction city! Palazzo Grassi, where? Campo Santa Margherita, per favore? You came from a cafe, right? Too simple, complicate it! Really now, what are you even doing? Are you guys deliberately making your task harder so we can have fun cracking smiles abot the silly goofyness of this unreal situation? Figures.

After some nerve-wrackingly stupid dialogue (-Hey, let's meet up midways, giving fate and your horrible sense of direction more chances to screw us over!), they finally find each other, and we find out the reason of this whole irritating ordeal: they somehow managed to swap phones. So relatable, am I right? Anyways, our alpha chad tries his luck with love interest girl, but yeah... I think both of them (and the viewer) feels that he is way under her league. Out of sheer pesperation, he manages to extort a portrait (for later use, wink wink), and they part ways... only to find out they swapped not only their identical phones, but their identical jackets too! Oh wow! How strange! How utterly nonsensical! I can't help but wonder if these weird coincidences are really coincidences or not. I know, haha and lol, we are doing funny-funny romantic comedy short, but I'm quiet sure the guy instrumented this whole mess, and he is a psychopath stalker, hunting for clueless catholic girls in Venice. ,,I'm here for a workshop." - yeah right!
