Short Cinema Journal 6
List Price: Unknown [Buy now and save at Amazon]
A DVD such as "Short Cinema Volume 6: Insanity" is difficult to review. For the uninitiated, it features numerous short films. Shorts included on Volume 6 include "The Bad Plant," 3 1/2 minutes of animation and a funny, weird story. It is accompanied by an alternate video track of storyboard animation and a director's commentary; the internationally acclaimed "Blue City" (12 1/2 minutes, with a director's commentary), "Billy's Balloon," a humorous 5 1/2 minute film from the man behind the praised "Lily and Jim" (with a satirical commentary) and "El Banquete," a 19 1/2 minute surrealist short inspired by Juan Luis Bunel's writings.
The wonderfully obscure "Franky Goes to Hollywood," which features dog Franky seeking advice from "Armageddon" co-stars Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi (12 min. running time), the 13 minute Belgian film "Black Coffee," which follows a couple who met on a dating show to an island retreat, Bob Judd's "The Bovine Vendetta," a 2 1/2 minute animated piece with Charles Manson voice-over work, and "Midnight Dance," a 6 1/2 minute astonishing animated (charcoal sketched) look at the undead with an equally attention-grabbing soundtrack.
Everything looks and sounds as well as it probably can; some films are presented widescreen others full-screen, and the 2.0 and 5.1 soundtracks are also very good. DVD-ROM content (which I can't comment on as I don't have the correct equipment). This mixed bag of shorts is sure to keep you entertained and has the right price to find its way to your collection.
