What is going on over at the Academy? For years, I have questioned whether it made sense for the organization to continue awarding short films, seeing as how they are no longer a routine part of the moviegoing experience (the category dates back to a time when newsreels and short subjects regularly preceded the main attraction).

A man walks into a bar. He wants to sing karaoke. It has to be ‘You were always on my mind” and it has to be right now, daytime on a regular Tuesday. Only it is a day like no other for Henrik (Hammerich). Louise (Bendix), the woman behind the bar,...
