Life in Short, Vol. 2

About This Movie

So, 'Life in Short, Vol. 2' has this intriguing collection of vignettes, each with its own flavor. The first segment, 'Terminal Case,' really digs into the psyche of a doctor who can foresee death—it's heavy, but not in a melodramatic way. Then there's 'Classifieds,' which pairs an older man with a teenager, exploring generational gaps and unexpected friendships. 'We're Everywhere' shifts the atmosphere to a more urgent and tense vibe as it tackles violence in Mexico City, showcasing the harsh reality of urban life. The pacing is uneven, which can be jarring, but it adds to the raw feel of the narratives. It’s not just a film; it’s a tapestry of life’s abrupt endings and connections, wrapped in a somewhat grim, yet poignant exploration of everyday existence.

This film is a bit of a hidden gem among collectors, often overlooked due to its ambiguous release history and the lack of information on its director and production. There are limited formats available, with some rare copies circulating on the collector market, making it a curious piece for those interested in independent storytelling. Fans of anthology films will appreciate the raw, unpolished nature of the stories, which don't shy away from life's darker themes.
