Zoo

What a charming little film. The contrasting shots of the spectators gives it another dimension. Does feel a bit repetitive in the final minute or two, but it's not a big deal.

The surprising thing about this doc is how funny it is. Haanstra syncs the excellent jazz music up with the actions on screen and I actually chuckled a few times... a decent feat considering it's only 10 minutes long and not even most movies marketed as comedies can do that. Besides that, the perspective shifts really made it entertaining and kinetic, not lingering too long on any one shot but not being too chaotic for its own good. Also, animals = cute, let's not even play ourselves.

Haanstra's best work.

not interesting. some guy recommended some short films on some forum, and i haven't liked any of them. so no more recommendations.
