I came across this short film today by Dandy Dwarves from Cannes 2009. It’s pretty sweet and haunting at the same time. There’s some great subtle details and it made me realize how haunting a look of inhibited emotion can be. The video got me thinking of a great movie with a similar haunted nature – Donnie Darko. It’s an exceptional and thought provoking movie worth a visit or revisit. Check the preview for Donnie Darko below and don’t be misled by the trailer’s attempt at selling it as a horror movie. It’s not meant to scare; just unsettle.
