Not Depressing Or Disturbing But Oh So Pretentious
IN THE TIME OF ANGELS starts with a voice-over of a young woman lamenting the passing of time . This strikes a chord with the human psyche and can be summed up with Matt Johnson's song Another Boy Drowning . It's a topic that while being cathartic can also be unredeemable depressing . Luckily the rest of this short film isn't depressing but unluckily this doesn't make it very good . For much of the running time a pretty young woman sits at one end of a table looking at the other end where a demonic vision is seated rather like a segment from BEAUTY AND THE BEAST . It's disturbing at first but then the whole short film becomes irritating as it drowns in its own self importance and pretentious overtones as the audience has to endure animation , special effects and ghostly dancers . I find it impossible to communicate to you dear reader as to what the story is about or if it's about anything as this viewer was subjected to a barrage of meaningless abstract images . Some people might see this as " art " but I much prefer narrative to art
