Catch your food. An obese person wants to eat. An obese man comes home, pours himself a beer - and then an unexpected thing happens. Smell!
In his third short film, Alexander Hunt jokes again - so to speak, "filling his hand." “In the Opera”, shot earlier – a banal, but temporically verified anecdote about the inability of the intellectual and commoner to coexist together even for a short time. "Dinner" raises the theme of pity and empathy for all things, manifested, imagine, for his not yet killed food.
Form takes precedence over content, but it lacks the power to become a drama, comedy, or collaboration of both. Hunt uses a couple of tricks, including “camera-eye” to keep the intrigue and establish an alternative view of what is happening, but his efforts, no matter how curious they look, end. Perhaps an increased number of directorial tricks would help the development of the comic plot (which at the beginning generally looks not advertising, not cartoon). Also, the author did not have to rely only on the texture of the only actor in the frame (after all, fat people always fall ridiculously, is that the calculation?). And if you hope, then do it bolder and longer, turning the character’s life into a mess and a real hell step by step, prolonging the moment of revealing the mystery of the camera-eye, entertaining with greater intensity.
The potential is there.
Performance is average.
The result is the result.
