Echoes of Tarkovsky : 'Bare Romance' (2014, Dir. Karel Tuytschaever, 31mins)

Scattered images and textured sounds collage 'Bare Romance' into a Tarkovsky stylised realism. Its a bold short film, paced carefully and beautifully shot with an intention to really place the viewer into the filmic space it captures.

It features a rare cinematic beauty among short films - the wise decision to tell the story through what it shows you and for how long, instead of simply firing away quick edits of narrative based dialogue sequences.

I look forward to seeing what writer/director Karel Tuytschaever will go on to make, and hope it will be a feature in this wonderful experimental taste. Perhaps we will be lucky enough to see another 'Le Quattro Volte' or 'In The City of Sylvia' styled film reach our screens at last.
