H-24 (Short)
How would you react if you knew what the next 24 hours brought? What we THINK the future brings is a source of tremendous anxiety, but what if we KNEW? Would we let people know? Would we keep it to ourselves? Would our anxiety go through the roof, or would we be calmed by the knowledge? In a little over four minutes, we see one man burdened with such knowledge, and where it leads him. Of course, what he has seen is his death. He takes the time to ruminate on his life, and where it has lead him. The film, written and directed by Yassine Harbachi, and starring Pierre Glénat as the man, is shot in black-and-white, and has the feel of someone who has made peace with his life, what his life has been, where it has led to, to this moment he is unable to stop. It ends with a haunting shot, one we’ve seen many variations of before, but few so simply, so elegantly, as this one. Well worth checking out.
