I Think I'm Missing Parts

About This Movie

So, 'I Think I'm Missing Parts' is this intriguing little short by Josh Safdie, clocking in at just 11 minutes. The pacing is deliberately slow, letting you really soak in this surreal atmosphere, which is almost hypnotic. You get this sense of tension and absurdity as the woman watches the odd happenings next door from her broken-down car. The practical effects are minimal, but they add to that deadpan humor, making everything feel a bit off-kilter. Performances are subtle, really letting the strangeness of the situation take center stage. It’s not your typical short film, and that’s honestly what makes it stand out in a collection. You find yourself lingering on those odd moments long after it ends.

This film has a certain scarcity in physical formats, which makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors. Its limited release means not many copies are floating around, especially in good condition. The short has garnered interest over the years, partly due to Safdie's later work gaining more recognition. It’s one of those hidden gems that sparks curiosity among those who appreciate the peculiar in cinema.
