Foxes

There is an awful lot going on in these 16 minutes. The cinematography is excellent, the acting solid, and the Gothic quality . . . well done. The film is jam-packed with very telling details . . . the husband's badge pinned to his dull workday uniform, the foxes at the garbage, the marks on the woman's body, the bits of landscape framing the row houses. The housing community is beyond monotonous--it's downright menacing in its straight-jacket sameness. There's an intensity that compels you to keep watching. The ending is a bit hokey for me, but the options were probably limited given the direction of the story. Certainly worth watching.
