And if you need to scratch that office pool itch even sooner, here’s a lock for the Oscars, in the live action, short film category: Avant Que De Tout Perdre. It’s French for Just Before Losing Everything, and of the five shorts nominated this year, it’s by the far the best.
The film follows the day in the life of a woman who has decided to leave her abusive husband, and is proof that sometimes all you need is 29 minutes to make a truly gripping thriller. It’s the beauty of short film – no filler, no side stories, no big budgets that’ll distract you from telling the story.
Eh, whatever. Go win your pool. You’re welcome.
