Imperfect
Today for short film theater we return to world of film noir. And this time it’s a science fiction. So yeah. I found a fun little genre blender. This one is called Imperfect which is written and direction by Micheal Tuitter back in 2012.
So what is it about? It’s about the world of fashion where perfection is hard to fin. Every model has to be photo shopped after each shoot. To reduce the work, they started using synthetic woman for the shoot. Because of this, there is a great issue. Laura the world’s number one model is actually trying to throw the robots out of the business.
The film follows Brendan Holloway. A photographer who grows close to a new mute girl who is Laura’s stand in. But when Laura doesn’t come in on one day, he finds her murdered and could have sworn he saw the new girl Emma at the crime scene running away. This seems impossible because it would mean Emma was in two places at one. So begins the noir mystery of who killed Laura.
The good? Cinematography and acting was fantastic. The writing and scifi twist is wonderful. And it really does have a noir feel.
The bad? The film is not action packed. Also given the twenty five minute length so people may not like ice slow burn, and suspense as others. Also this is a noir film set in modern day, which seems jarring at times when he’s talking a bus ride or walking the city streets. Given the aesthetic your brain is left expecting the 1940’s an all times.
Overall, this is a fantastic smart well-made film. Everything about it is near perfect so if you like noir, this a must watch.
4 flicks out of four.
Overall Rating: A Scifi Themed Noir That is a Must Watch.
