The Red Suitcase

Nawelle Ewad, who speaks only Farsi, doesn't want to get her suitcase, go through customs, and meet the man whom her father has affianced her to -- sold her, actually.

I get it. I got it about three minutes into this 18-minute movie, and so should anyone who is not actively stupid. It's a well performed role, as all the menace takes place in Miss Ewad's head, and it's on view from the moment she appears. That said, these things need some modulation and some visual indicator of real risk, which was never quite present, unless a man throwing a bunch of roses to the floor is considered menacing.

It all takes place around the Luxembourg air port, and was at least partially funded by the Luxembourg Filming Fund.
