Featured review
A beautifully filmed tale of unexpected triumph over adversity
It is Christmas time, and the elderly inhabitants of a residential home are tired of being bossed around. Determined to take matters into their own hands, they stage a midnight attack on their unsuspecting carer, and break into the stores to steal their forbidden booze. But are these really the spirits they need this Christmas?
This is a beautifully filmed short by film and animation company Capture. A shallow depth of field is employed to give warmth to this tale of ageism, passion and acceptance. Creative lighting and the twinkling of Christmas lights help create a festive mis-en-scene and set the tone of the film, while a nostalgic soundtrack evokes to the glory days of the generation who feel forgotten.
The unpredictable storyline keeps us on our toes right up until the final twist, but I would have like to have more made of the heist to create a give a greater sense of climax. Ultimately, the film teaches us to make the most of our lives and cherish each moment, before time eventually catches up with us
