Summary: In the first half of the film, a Japanese woman shows us her apartment in Tokyo and muses on the amount of bananas produced worldwide. The woman then tells us that her friend next door is sad. In the second half, a blonde woman (Jordan Ladd) sits on a sofa and cries. Then a brunette woman (Cerina Vincent) enters and says cruel things to her, before threatening to tell her the truth. The film ends with a fade to black... (Wikipedia.org)
This is basically like a student movie but made by a world-famous director. It's obvious from the soundtrack that it's supposed to be creepy, but it isn't really. It is just two unrelated scenes with decontextualized dialogue tossed together. There is no attempt to get the audio or lighting right, much less the photography.
The beginning of this short is extremely scary, before it descends into cryptic artsy dialogue that has little impact on me. Unsurprisingly, the cinematography is really great.
Seems to again pursue one of the themes from "Lost Highway," namely, the notion that the camera (and by extension the viewer) is a violent and intrusive presence in a brutal world of dark desires.
