I'm not familiar with other work by this crew so I'm just going to review this movie by itself. The first couple of minutes I was sure this would be one of those movies that I would have to fast-forward most of it, but to my surprise I ended up enjoy it. Roman is a lonely anti-social welder who lives a painfully routine life, until he meets a girl who lives in his apartment complex. The girl is adorable and full of life. But Roman is tortured by fantasies and voices in his head. He ends up killing her but because he loves her he keeps the frozen body in his house. Little by little he cuts pieces of her and throws them in a lake.
He meets another girl who is even more lovely than the first and who actually develops a crush for him. She is the artsy type, a little odd, and has a fascination with death. She is working on some art project that she won't reveal until the surprising end.
This is a very low budget movie that makes up for that with a ton of personality. The performances are very good but most importantly the characters are outstanding. Roman is the guy no one is interested in meeting, but if you go through the trouble of meeting him, he's actually alright. The girls are pretty much a guy's fantasy. And Nectar Rose steals basically the show. The script is funny, tender, smart. The problem is that there isn't enough story for a 1:30 minutes film. The camera lingers too long on shots; shots in the dark-and there are lots of them-look pretty terrible. You can tell that the ending isn't going to be nice but it does come as a surprise. It's a shame this movie wasn't made with a higher budget. This is one of the few movies that deserves a remake.
