I saw this as part of the Satisfied Eye International Film Festival and W proves that sometimes the simplest stories are the most effective. Shot in one single take, W is ostensibly a vignette, a moment in time of a teacher's day. To say any more would be to take away the profundity of a film whose strength lies in every small detail, every sound, every moment of production design, right to the wonderful piece of music that closes out this perfect short. It's a bravura piece of filmmaking and shows the incredible impact a filmmaker can create in only 5 minutes.
