Undo and Harvey, Review

Harvey is a short film from Australia. It's an odd one. A women comes home to her apartment and hears a call for help from the apartment across the hall. Harvey is peering out from the mail slot in the door, calling for help. Actually he is a bit beyond help as he is only half a person split vertically. There might be deep meaning to this movie if I really think hard about. It is a well done cinematic effort.




Undo is another example of Japanese weirdness. A writer who works from home, lives with his girlfriend, who stays at home and knits. They appear to be in love. They can't have pets so he brings home turtles. Turtle lovers beware, because they are not treated well. After the woman gets her braces off, he can't get used to her teeth and taste and this leads her to Obsessive Knot Disorder, a malady of love. Her descent into madness and his efforts to help her do not make for a happy ending, but that's often then case in Japanese movies.

I give Harvey 4/5 acorns and Undo 3.5/5 acorns.
