Dedicated to the memory of Fortissmo Film's Wouter Barendrecht, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang's Nymph begins with an all encompassing continous take: a shot that floats high above the branches and low to the ground below. The 10-plus minute piece describes how when venturing into a wooded forrest, it is nature and not humans calling the shots. While Ratanaruang's minimalist essay on being emotionally and sexually frustrated touches upon the theme with few visual strokes, this love triangle between two humans and a tree is so deeply rooted in a non-discourse that whatever intrigue that this film elicits is purely incidentally and accidently. Full length review coming soon.

Reviews
Review: Jess + Moss
"Jeter is certainly expressive, as is this film, it’s just done in a strange way that doesn’t exactly take full advantage of the feature narrative format and medium."
Interviews
Review: Wrong
"Encoded in the outlandish humor that pervades the film are bits of commentary on everyday life. The most overt is Dupieux's urging to appreciate the relationships around you, which is manifested in the dog kidnapping, but also in a subplot in which a woman from the pizzeria moves between men without even realizing they have changed. Another cultural critique is found in the rainy office, an instantly recognizable visual metaphor for how dreary a 9 to 5 job can be."
