I realized that I dislike blog postings without pictures. I will try to include some pictures for these short films if possible. And I suppose I will have to use screenshots. It’s going to be a rather strange experience for me, I think, as I have never taken screenshots for films before – and taking *the right* screenshot is an art.
Jabberwocky by Jan Svankmajer
This film is so incredibly pointless, my gosh. These puppets are fairly disgusting indeed, and the knives even more so. The creator must be on some drugs, my god XD On the other hand, something about this atmosphere is intriguing, and I do see a certain creativity in this. I just don’t approve of it much it’s true. Also, the poor black cat!
My Wrongs #8245-8249 and 117 by Chris Morris
What the heck is this film. It’s supposed to be funny, I suppose, and to some extent it also was, but finally, I have to admit that I did not laugh even once. It’s very… british, I suppose? The only thing I liked was the fact that the dog spoke, hahaha.
El Secdleto de la Tlompeta by Javier Fesser
Now this might sound a little bit weird, but… I was unable to understand this film. What the heck XD I really didn’t find it funny at all and honestly I wish this narration guy would stop speaking so quickly. It makes it sound like italian and not sexy at all.
Election Night by Anders Thomas Jensen
I think this film is a comedy – I mean… what the heck, the stuff they are talking is just way over the top. That’s just so incredibly great, oh god. There is nothing more you can say about this film, it’s just absolutely brilliant, especially the end.
Finally, this is my ranking (in parenthesis, you have Shii’s rank). I honestly have not expected the Godard to be my no. 1 though – I kind of thought that there would be some more, better films there. But ultimately this little story simply was the most enjoyable.
