Fat Girl

Anaïs is twelve and bears the weight of the world on her shoulders. She watches her older sister, Elena, whom she both loves and hates. Elena is fifteen and devilishly beautiful. Neither more futile, nor more stupid than her younger sister, she cannot understand that she is merely an object of desire. And, as such, she can only be taken. Or had. Indeed, this is the subject: a girl's loss of virginity. And, that summer, it opens a door to tragedy.

Neo himself has discovered his superpowers including super speed, ability to see the codes of the things inside the matrix and a certain degree of pre-cognition. But a nasty piece of news hits the human resistance: 250,000 machine sentinels are digging to Zion and would reach them in 72 hours. As Zion prepares for the ultimate war, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are advised by the Oracle to find the Keymaker who would help them reach the Source. Meanwhile Neo's recurrent dreams depicting Trinity's death have got him worried and as if it was not enough, Agent Smith has somehow escaped deletion, has become more powerful than before and has fixed Neo as his next target.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Imagine Medusa having a child and caring for it.. There it is, the basic plot idea for Serpents Lullaby, but it is so much more than that small idea. Charles Hall, screenwriter for Serpents Lullaby, weaves a tale of love and sorrow that turns to desperation in this short film that features very little dialogue, in fact, there are less than a dozen lines spoken.The appeal (for me) and complexity of this award-winning thirteen minute short is in the filming, direction, and fabulous setting. The setting appears to be a very lovely private residence (mansion) in Sainte Agathe des Monts, Québec, Canada (the filming location), giving the film's lead character an air of wealth. Of course, it is the filming and direction that takes this lovely setting and crafts it into a classic Gothic horror with a present day sensibility. The filming techniques used have an almost film noir look and a modern, but somewhat subdued, Ice Blue color palette resulting in a cold and dark mood, as it should be for this subject. The direction was exquisite in the use of unusual camera angles as well as close-up photography highlighting the mystery and suspense of the film. There were several critters used in the filming that made it that much more creepy (for me anyway, "Why did it have to be snakes?"), but were necessary for the telling of the tale.The film feels predictable in where you think the story is going to go Until the twist. Actually there is more than one twist. Just when you think you know where it is going to go it veers away from that idea, and then delivers yet another twist. Serpents Lullaby is a heartbreaking story with a sad, but satisfying end. Kudos to Patirica Chica and crew for creating a very smart horror short that is visually stunning and a delight to watch.
