SYNOPSIS OF STORY

Two siblings in the garden. A cat wanders by. The beauty is in its simplicity, I hope! The French name is a tribute to Jean-Luc Godard, an inspiration of mine.

Director - Joe Forrest

About to turn 18. A-level exams in Art and media currently happening. After a gap year, I'm going to Uni to styudy Film and Moving Image. I thrive on watching and making films.

The Mozart didn't work. Nice idea - but confused execution.

Paul Vortex
Nice qualities.

Gekko.
That really worked being in black and white. The music and the 'silent movie' approach also really worked... and i liked the cat being labelled.

sonia
i really liked that it was simply great

parker
The semiotics of the cat???!! really?! The cat was there becausehe had a catand it seemed to be a way to end itas much as things going on as usual.A bitunsure..

Cristina
I think it was great!! the music was fab and the semiotics of the cat is well done. good luck at uni!

Joe Forrest
Thanks Moi. I'm going to explain the cat that confuses a few of you. By cutting to the cat at the end I am trying to say that despite lifes little tiffs, arguments or whatever, life still goes on, be it through the life of a cat or something else. Hope this means something.

Moi
I know nothing of films -but a little about life..Joe, don't cow-tow to the people...you'll be running around trying to please everyone..IMPOS SIBLE! Stay oringinal, it's enough!

Go more abstract. J- LG? This was more BFG. Jump cuts? Conflicting sound and pictures? Get more interesting.

Jess
A great short movie i really liked it thanks.

Manchester
I dont see the point in the cat other than to break up the tension between the boy and girl. With simple films a simple message should be easily put across, it wasnt't done that well here. Have a look at the film 'Tickling'

Peter
Visually not bad, but even Godard uses dialogue. Have you seen Eloge de L'Amour? I haven't made my mind upm about it yet.

ana
Wanted to see more of the cat!

Joe Forrest
Thanks for everyone's comments. I'm currently working on a new One- Minute movie and don't know whether to make it more mainstream (to get better reviews) or to go abstract again (to further prove my point!)

Drama King
I think this is good precisely because nothing in particular happens. It is like a snapshot of youth: the way brothers and sisters get on each others nerves and how they express themselves. The music and black and white shots give it the nostalgic edge it needs. Good one.

Benson
Just stick to watching films!!! This one was totally utterlly boring garbage

Cooperman
Maybe something interesting could happen in your next film?

joshua kane

Taz

Steve Richardson
A sweet glimpse of a family--in minature. I miss my own sister, and someday this guy will miss his. Good work.

elfisho
