    Gorgeous retro style on the darker side of human need + desire. Very funny and impressive that this film was made on one roll of film, one take after another without any glitches to the production. Sublime soundtrack. You girls vock. I wish Alice Lowe would write me a mini micro movie short to make. If I had the money.

    Just a bit dark and twisted but funny and brilliantly made, especially considering the limitations of Straight 8
