Pillock

This is one of those short films that seems to have grown out of a sketch, which sounded quite good down at the student bar.

The plot is so thin it needs a good meal, but essential involves a country gent (Peter Clifford), relating a tale of a man (Jaime Pardo), splashing about in a nearby river, to a semi-naked man (Robert Rafalat, who deserves to go far with such a great surname).

While this is a one-trick pony that runs out of steam - stick-thin plots never can take the pace - it is not all bad. The music is good and some of the camera angles interesting.

I'm getting a bit tired of the old flashbacks-must-be-in-black-and-white routine, though.
