I saw Anna last Saturday at the Studio 13. I haven't been able to tell there how much I liked this short during the event so I am doing it here... I loved everything in it, the very detailed background with the references to the sea/father and the close up views that makes us enter into the character's minds. There is so much in it for only 35 minutes! Anna who is balanced beetwen two ages, still a kid but facing adult's problems... Her evolution: the way she nearly sanctify her father throught the boat at the begining, then when she realizes that her father has also been a bastard she falls into hate, and everything concluded by the beautiful last scene when we can discover throught her eyes that there is no "bad" or "good" father in this story, just a hurted one... like her mother and her.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way she slowly discover herself and love, in a world where love is lacking.
A beautiful film. Not so dramatic finally, because Anna is the symobol of changes to come.
Many thanks for this beautiful film!
