Must See Movie...
Good start, but then it gets ruined
Admirable film.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
"Voice Over" is a 9.5-minute short film from 4 years ago. The director is Martín Rosete and the writer is Luiso Berdejo, who you may know from the "REC" movie series. The star of the film, however, is Féodor Atkine and he is also the reason why the language is French, even if this is a Spanish production. We see the same man in deadly situations, in which he is about to suffocate, to drown and to bleed to death. It looks like a real life horror movie, almost torture for the audience with these hopeless scenarios. then again, there is the most unexpected plot twist near the end and this does actually become a romance movie. Who would have thought. I sure wouldn't. Probably the parallel drawn here between these situations is slightly absurd and over-the-top, but it was still refreshing how this actually turned into a happy ending. Good watch and I recommend it.
I was sent a link to this as an example of excellence and imagination in the short format. It is wholly competent indeed, humorously inventive; a series of interlocked vignettes where characters struggle across time with insoluble dilemmas as a narrator juggles through them trying to settle on a story worth recalling.A look at accreditation shows a well connected young maker who could mobilize resources to create and this is as much a filmmaking lesson as anything. It didn't just happen, a lot of work was poured into it (a lot of it over festival cocktails I assume), the work of convincing you are ready and able, that enabled him to be in position to make something like it.That's all fine; this maker lacks nothing that would keep him from taking on the feature format and that seems to be where he's headed already. It must be great to be able to make the transition from the pile of hopeful dreamers to the few given the keys to the room where dreams are created, I wish him luck.But when all the work of surrounding yourself with the right tools and being technically proficient in them has taken place, the real work of drawing life is yet to begin. And all concessions made to young filmmaking, there's just so little here that looks like it has been arrived at by a process of maturation, worldview, the quest for personal expression. Age has little to do with it, openness to what happens to you has everything, the desire to use that as your eye, opposed to looking for a postcard view. This leaves me with a perfectly refined confection, and praising refinement is always faint praise. It just means that this maker is lucky to have already attained skills he can use to grow.
let me start off by saying, this is by far one of the best short films I have ever seen! It takes you on a full emotional journey and captured me in a way most short stories couldn't dream of doing. if you have 10 minutes, don't waste anymore time. Go see this beautiful piece of art NOW! :) You'll thank me later.to the reviewers saying it's not as smart as it thinks it is.... you missed the whole point of the beautiful story and narration. it is a grand tale to tell the story of the simplest thing. I appreciated the simplicity and subtlety of the final shot and the way it ends. and i do agree with all the reviews that the editing, cinematography and narration is unbelievable!
A short film linking three separate story lines . I was reminded somewhat of Aronofsky's THE FOUNTAIN a film I didn't like though it was beautiful to look at from a technical viewpoint . VOICE OVER is also another beautiful looking and I wonder how much it cost . Almost certainly one of the more expensive shorts I've watched recently with the underwater scenes in particular stand out . Very good cinematography and very good editing and for the most part my attention was gripped as the three separate stories were intercut with one another . The problem lies in the ending . It's at this point I suppose the audience are gasping " Sacre bleu " and so was I - except not in a complimentary admiring way . It's good for the most part and some people will enjoy the feel good factor to it but seems very much like a cop out of sorts which is a pity
