Rating: * * * *
Not many people must be aware of this three-minute short from the mastermind Christopher Nolan. It’s his earliest work, and the storytelling brilliance that has now blossomed into a rather blockbuster churning talent, is blatantly evident in this short film.
The movie is isolated in one room, where a man in his 20’s is on a lookout for something that’s been vexing him. Armed with a shoe, he scampers around to swat the little thing that seems to be driving him insane. The story comes across as a very simple one, but wait until it’s revealed as to what the guy is exactly after, and after he’s addressed that irritant, there’s another piece de resistance on its way to leave you impressed.
A straightforward execution for an extraordinary piece of plot, complemented with Nolan’s brilliantly, neo-noir handiwork that we’ve now become so accustomed to. A Nolan fan shouldn’t miss his foray into the film industry, which he now takes by storm every couple of years.
