5 Ways 2 Die

In a visual format that takes hints from both European and American cinema with a lean towards the more eclectic elements of both, this short length film is very enjoyable and quite thought provoking at the same time. The parts that make you chuckle are nicely contrasted by realistic (and tragic) events in the main character's narrative. The casting is spot on and the directors vision is consistent and beautiful. All these element come together to create a cinematic experience with high production value. The story plays through organically but is simultaneously stylized in a very smart and natural way. Diana Papadaki is definitely a young director to watch!
