Foreign English (2008)
Great short with fantastic lead
10 February 2009
Foreign English is a story about an old man who can't understand what women say. The actor who plays the lead is so excellent that I would have watched a feature on the same theme with just him in different situations of incomprehension. The first scene was the weakest to me with acting and dialog that didn't keep the same great standard as the rest of the film but then we continue on the old mans journey through his troubled day of alienation and I'm engulfed by his world where he frantically tries to decode completely normal sentences just articulated by the other sex. I'm not a big fan of twists at the end of shorts cause it usually feels contrived to me but director Armand Diab pulls it off with this one.
