L'homme inconnu (2021)
Compressed, with a nice catch
This movie feels like a complete movie although you only get 23 minutes. The necessary gaps and jumps in de story are not distracting. What is being shown suffices.
The meta remarks in the movie could be improved though. For example the remark about time at the end of the film.
The best part of the film is revealed in the last scene. It creates the impression that you can live your life as you might imagine it.
I really loved the music in the film.
Wacht (2021)
Inside a mind
There is something interestingly surrealistic about the picture. It reminded me of a david lynch film. Here is why:
1/ The picture starts and ends with a road on which a girl is waking. First up hill, later down hill.
2/ The road is not linear.
3/ Some scenes are fragments, collated, pasted.
4/ When the girls asks when the bus will arrive, then the bargirl answers: 'maybe today, maybe tomorrow'.
There are three girls in the movie. Each girl experiences live which is on-hold. All experiences share a certain emptyness: Empty roads, empty landscapes, empty gastank, empty bar.
A girl is trying to disconnect and move on from a particular situation. It is hard to break the connection.
The other characters are not necessarily real but representations of connections.
The other, the girl in the bar could also be the real girl. An interesting viewpoint to explore.
