Saw this film on the big screen last night in Ipswich and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's only 4 minutes long but it still manages to build a little world and draw you in. And it's actually funny too, which is more than you can say for a lot of supposedly comic shorts. Credit must go to the lead actor, Oliver Korittke, who is well known in his native Germany, apparently. He's got a wonderfully mobile face, you find yourself hanging on the little ticks and quirks in his expressions. The story is a playful riff on the 'heist gone wrong' scenario that managed to hoodwink the audience and leave us with smiles on our faces. The director (a Colchester resident) was at the screening to introduce the film and revealed that it was actually shot in Berlin, kudos to his production designer for re-creating a little corner of England. Well done to Toby Roberts for this fresh and funky little comedy!
