It's not just about its visuals; the atmosphere is palpable, almost like you can feel the weight of the time it was made. Roth's performance adds a layer of intensity, evoking a sense of longing and disconnection. The practical effects, while modest by today's standards, have a charm that adds to its distinctive feel. Overall, it’s a piece that resonates with anyone interested in the evolution of narrative in short films.
This short film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles.
