In this film, a young man delivers a monologue in Danish outlining a chronic series of disturbing actions and strange behavioural patterns attributed to his brother, Charles. His unsubtitled narration is intercut with a closeup of a typewriter, the typebars apparently pecking out the story as he tells it. “When he was a teenager, my brother started showing signs of mental illness.” The alternately humourous and tragic story remains incomplete as the narration contains ellipses and the views of the typed pages are not entirely visible, adding both to the poignancy and the mystery of the work. –Images Festival
A “gripping watch” and two innovative shorts.
