The plot of the has a man go to see his therapist…and I’ll leave it there. Not because what happens is bad- it’s not- rather to say more would reveal where the film is going and where that is isn’t fully revealed until the end credits roll. I do not want to ruin it for you.
What I will say is that the film is a series of increasingly loud belly laughs. As things happen joke builds on joke to make the next one funnier simply because it’s the context. The only think I can compare it to is the best work of Neil Simon who made a career writing plays full of jokes but which are not so funny unto themselves, but when taken together and in order produce bigger and bigger laughs (Simon’s Rumors anyone?)
What I love is that the film is the film. While it’s a calling card for a feature it doesn’t feel like a promo reel for one. Details are not left hanging, it’s not the middle of a story. It’s a short film with a beginning ,middle and end. The result is the film is much more satisfying and so much better. It’s a perfect confection that fils you up
I love this film a great deal.
If you want to know why Jason Kartilian is one of my favorite directors all you need to do is see the perfection of this film.
Highly recommended
