Eye For Film >> Movies >> Tiny Death (2005) Film Review
Following an almost dogme protocol, this short film by Kaspar Munk, speaks of an emotional reality that will resonate with anyone over the age of 15.
A bunch of kids go to a pal's house. They're all in their early teens, on the verge of adolescence, while their pal has a few years on them and, therefore, has a ready supply of soft porn magazines.
Technically, though, it's not the jazz mags they're after, it's the sight of his snake - a boa constrictor - chasing a white mouse round a maze of books he's constructed.
Munk's thoughtful film focusses on these two primitive attractions - sex and violence - as they vie for the kids' attention, neatly capturing the youthful fascination that comes with the advent of hormones.
Interesting, cleverly shot and highly intelligent.
