Martwe malzenstwo

Another short taken off the watchlist this time a polish one. A pretty cute little romance/movie making short that I enjoyed a lot. It is simple in its execution and delivery and it works for its premise and idea. It is nothing completely groundbreaking but it is something you can enjoy.

An extra who only plays dead people on sets meets a young women and they talk about life while playing dead.

This is a cute little romance story, I liked the actors and their chemistry and the idea is pretty cute. The overall concept of extra actors playing dead is something you take for granted and it is shown and told pretty well here. The main actors feelings about laying still and how he does it and also him being dead inside until he meets someone taking him out of his trance. It´s a good idea and moral that works wonders here. The blossoming romance is also very cute.

It´s a simple movie about making movies and again the extras plot is fun, because what do you do when you are playing dead body number 5? You think and I think the premise and symbolism works so well here.

It is also rather well shot with some really simple but affective cinematography that lifts a movie from the perspective of the extras. It´s fun to stay close to the ground away from the war drama going on and just looking at people playing dead.

I just really enjoyed this, more than I thought I would and while it is nothing insane it is something that I really just liked.
