Attic Man (2004)
Funny, clever, good direction and acting. Cool photography, too. A great little short film.
The script, direction, acting and visuals all work perfectly together. Its a clever, offbeat premise that's handled in a very dry and funny way. I saw it at a festival in Los Angeles. I laughed when I was watching it, but even more to its credit, the film stuck with me enough so that the next day, when I thought about it, I laughed at some of the funny bits again. There was even one thing that slipped by me when I was at the screening that had me grinning when it hit me later. Its nice to see a film with a solid underlying theme that's handled deftly enough so it doesn't feel like the director is trying to club you over the head with it. The performances are real, natural and believable - quite a good job by the actors and director, especially considering how they make the basic premise of the film (attic people coming with houses) seem completely normal. I guess you could say I really liked it a lot. I want to see it again.
