Secret Goldfish is a fascinating short directed by Bi Gan, and it really showcases his distinct style. The film, shot on 16mm, has this grainy texture that adds a layer of nostalgia, almost like peering into a memory. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the emotions and subtle nuances of the characters. Themes of longing and introspection play out beautifully here, making it feel deeply personal yet relatable. The performances have a certain rawness to them, which complements the atmosphere crafted by the cinematography. It's not just a short - it feels like a little world unto itself, reflective and haunting, leaving a lasting impression long after it ends.
