Not as epic and cinematic as The Fall; but it hits on something so profound and deeply relatable... and in such a cool, punchy, raw, artful way.

Restlessness in the pandemic era (and beyond)
Strasbourg 1518
This was a short, and yet it still dragged. I think it's because the accompanying soundtrack was the audial embodiment of ketamine. The dancing itself was a bit strange and the message of the film wasn't revolutionary, but I think the editing was very nicely done. I think the editing is definitely what made this short, because it was the main source of the short's character imo. I still disliked it but it was fairly interesting considering
Low 5
"Controversy exists over whether people ultimately danced to their deaths."
This is wonderful! Perfectly highlights the repetitive nature of lockdown & the near dementia you can feel sweep into your soul as you struggle with no real contact , no hugs, just an enfolding trauma you have to deal with and control as best as possible with repeated behaviour embraced in love thoughts!
