2002 - RED JACKET
We watched this recently in one of my film school classes and I
was greatly impressed. The story is very simple and told in a highly
visual style. There is almost no dialogue, which makes this originally
German film accessible to non-German speakers like many of my classmates.
I was instantly engrossed in the film, from the opening images of
the aftermath of a traffic accident. The story is well-paced and
not overbearing, as student films have a tendency to be. The photography
is nice and even beautiful in several places, but it is never distracting
and the story is always the focus. Excellent work. This is a filmmaker
to keep an eye on.
