Phlegm
BandSAboutMovies5 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Directed and written by Han-David Bolt, Phlegm reminds me of Jamie Thraves' video for Radiohead's "Just." Pascal Ulli plays a man walking to work that ends up stepping on a snail, wiping off his shoe and then stepping directly onto another snail until the sticky material all over him just weighs him down and forces him into the ground. As the camera pulls back, it's revealed that he is not the only person to have undergone this disgusting and horrible trial.

It feels as if this is every day when I had to walk to work, the feeling of not even wanting to enter the building, every step bringing me closer to a destructive experience that tore away at my soul, forced to be around fake faceless emotionless ciphers of not even human beings. No snails though.

Poor snail
searchanddestroy-115 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Was it useful to smash, crash this poor gasteropode? This story is not funny, not interesting, only boring, despite the six minutes - including ending credits - length, as slow as the snail that we see move during the first minute. There is no meaning, except maybe the business man who killed the snail is in his turn lying on the floor, just in the middle of the gigantic towers, towers which crash, smash this man from their heights. No, I don't understand the meaning of this short useless short film. But only a short movie could show such a scheme, and I think there are too many of them, empty, lousy, meaningless. Typical of many, too many short features.
