Watched the first one. The music and camera were nice. The plot makes no sense. Why didn't they just swap numbers like normal people? Why didn't he go and ask for her name and new workplace when he thought she'd left? I hate things which aren't surreal, but make no sense.

Also some of the scripting/acting was really bad. What was that voicemail??? What was that thing where everyone turned around shocked because he laughed?? Just terrible.

 

(Also, I hate when women wait to be asked to go on a date or whatever. I thought we'd outgrown unfeminist shit like that in the 60s and 70s.)

The first one is nice.. Though I remember seeing a Dutch short with the exact same theme, though it took a more funny approach if I recall correctly. I’ll try to find it. The second is one awesome piece of stopmotion, great music as well!

 

I can’t find it on Youtube unfortunately, so I can’t embed it. It’s Dutch, but there’s barely any dialogue, I suspect you don’t need to understand it.

Apart from the above, I’ll try if I can find some other ones I remember seeing on Dutch television or festivals.

 

Edit 01:

Ok thanks, I'll be up all night looking for / at shorts :rolleyes:

 

This one’s strange:

and Lynch's Cowboy and the Frenchman, which I'm sure no one will watch as it's almost half an hour, but I loved. I lol'd numerous times, just at the lolness of it all. The stunning sung interludes, over before you time to understand what or why, the music/Frenchman at the start I found hilarious too, for some reason.

 

I love his use/treatment of dialogue, he really makes us think about how we interact with each other.
