There and Back

A VCR with a mind of its own shows a grief-stricken woman ways of getting back at her ex with a knife in this short, quirky film-school project. Shot on tape, the virtually dialogue-free film plays on the old fancy of being able to work reality back and forth like a videotape. This trickery is visualised quite effectively and not with little effort in staging and performance, but in the end it only seems like a show of technical prowess than a fully-fledged dark fantasy comedy. Well, it does look nice and you may feel slightly less comfortable about what comes out of your television set after watching this.
