Don't get me wrong, I like puzzling movies, I like them to death, but this short film is...beyond puzzling, I'd need to see this like thirty times to really understand the underlying philosophy in there.

The whole film is about some "anxiety" treatment. I don't know, but I think this movie is breathing Kierkegaardian "anxiety". Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher who said that anxiety was caused by the projection in a future state of being....

So...we got a guy, on a treatment table and a girl who seems to be a doctor....but everything she really does it shooting the guy in the head with some kind of...experimental gun...clever ain't it? It sure does stop the anxiety from going.

That said, the movie seemed primarily a big excuse to experiment. I have nothing against it, it was very cool. The blood stains from the gun wound were constantly moving and morphing into memories (or prjections?) The photographer for this movie did an awesome job of blending the whites together in the "treatment scence".

An extra-prop for the "show" scenes where the guy talks about his experience. I feel the keys for the movie are in his speech, but...like I said i'll have to see it again. Big ups for the music too, keeps you in that mood of "anxiety"..pretty enjoyable short film.
