Review of Off Screen

Off Screen (2005)
10/10
A fantasy life inside of a confused man's head confuses audience until the end
13 March 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is made with mastery and excellent timing. It draws the audience in to the point where you may get completely lost.

A near 60 year old man loses everything in his life, his job and his family and is now losing his mind. The film is not told in an especially emotive way, which is why it may be difficult to follow. When this man, John V. takes it upon himself to crusade against a large company, his internal life runs away with him with imagined friendships and conversations, until he goes over the edge.

This film is extremely well made, from the art direction to the lighting to the costumes and especially the work of the actors, director and writer. The twist in the story will stay with you for a long time and will make you think about the characters, the director, the writer and about yourself.
