Super French Cool
Wow, nobodies written a review for this? Shame shame. This short is definitely one of the best I've ever seen, and yes, I've seen quite a few. Following two roller skating bank robbers in their ambitious project', the action is interspersed using a dialogue with the two in question as timefiller. Think the chase scenes from Heat and Ronin, a Dobermann theme, put it all on skates, and you're pretty much there. Lasting about 18 minutes, the film is a long short, but goes quickly thanks to the fast, although very quiet soundtrack. The opening shot is drawn out, and after the first few seconds, you can tell the sound effect of the skates is looped, which suggests a stingy producer. However, any preconceptions to the budgetary diet are lost after the skaters evade the police; skating backwards down a raised glass tunnel simultaneously returning fire at the cops, glass exploding everywhere. There are also some pretty darn cool stunts, and hats off to both the camera-man and the stunt skaters, although as far as I know, the actors may well have done their own stunts. The skaters aren't idealised either; there are occasions when they fall, which, (although I wouldn't have done so) drops the viewer back into reality. The sense of speed compared to the actors lack of finesse, seems exaggerated, probably because of the low slung camera and as said before, fast soundtrack. Judicious use of slow-motion (so hard to find nowadays) also adds to the general feeling of cool, almost constantly present. I just hope some producer somewhere will finance their next project', showing the world that the French are good for other things than classy porn, and fine art. No wait, I mixed something up there
