Excellent Short Film!
29 December 2023
Les Sacrifiés was such a dope short film! Love how it mixed sci-fi with thriller and even mixed in a bit of documentary. Reminded me of Alive in Joburg (short that lead to District 9) and Children of Men. Both are great films, so for a short to be reminiscent of both is an impressive accomplishment! The acting in this short is top notch and so is the directing. The characters are not only relatable, but they are also likable. Too often these days, movies make the villains unbelievably evil and as a viewer, it's such a turn off. But with Les Sacrifiés, you can empathize with all of the characters. Which makes it hard to pick a side. And that is what great art does. It challenges your biases and forces you to think. And the ending left me speechless! Highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of great storytelling. Would love to see this turned into a feature film and can't wait for what's next from this incredible director and his team!
