Meetings -Girls Shorts-

Unexpected
meetings, hidden desires, locked rooms and uninhibited neighbours
make for a bounty of surprises in this stylish and sexy set of short
films, the very best of a bumper year for girls shorts. Morning coffee
is the last thing on anyone's mind after two women leave the window
open in the infectiously summery "Bare". In sleek,
chic "Entrevue (Meeting)" , a woman goes for a job
interview, only to discover that employers (and their wives) have
private lives too. A woman takes seven anniversary gifts and "Seven
Days" to remember the seven years she spent with her lover.
Then it's "4pm", and a closeted politician, an aquarium
and a missing key make a one-night stand last much longer with satisfyingly
disastrous effects in this humourous locked-room mystery. "Petals"
uses Bollywood technicolour and an evocative soundtrack in a lush,
beautiful retelling of a true story of doomed love in an Indian village.
And in "Atomic Sake", (shot in gorgeously grainy
black and white) previously unspoken desires come to the surface as
three friends take on love and friendship over a bottle of sake. |
