Make It Short

About This Movie

So, there's this compilation called 'Make It Short' featuring Andy Bausch's short films, and it’s a real mixed bag of quirky narratives. You've got characters like devils, cowboys, and even gangsters, and it’s all laced with humor that’s distinctly Luxembourgish, thanks to the cast led by Thierry van Werveke. The pacing feels like a ride through a carnival—some pieces are whimsical, while others touch on darker themes. What stands out is Bausch's knack for practical effects that pull you right into the absurdity of each tale. It’s a unique dive into the Luxembourg film scene, showcasing a distinct voice and a blend of local talent. Definitely gives you a taste of local culture through a playful lens.

This compilation has become a bit of a rarity in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release. It showcases Bausch’s distinctive style, and that alone generates interest among those seeking to explore lesser-known cinema. Formats vary, but the DVD releases seem to have the most dedicated followers, though digital versions are popping up here and there. The short film collection offers a deep dive into a unique slice of filmmaking that many might overlook.
