Now THIS is filmmaking!

I started watching this movie casually, not expecting to watch it all the way through, but I was drawn in right away by the film's creative cinematography to portray this guy's plight. The camerawork was so well done...this is one of those instances where the cinematography is part of the film. Very, very well made film. I loved it. A film like this is pure art.

I always complained about movies, unlike games, not being able to take the viewer into the characters perspective, hence never managing to be simplistic yet absorbing. This one is as good as a film can get at this.

Yeah, I guess this IS art. And I liked it. Brief, engaging and surprisingly entertaining, this one worked well for me.
