Dym

Splendid Lynch-like short about a man held captive by surrealistic imagery. It's impressive that such a film can make the viewer appreciate what a moviegoer generally takes for granted when watching a Hollywood feature--camera angles, set design, sound. "Smoke" has it all and then some. Unfortunately, the film begins to wonder into a collage of vivid shots instead of progressing a plot. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to do it. Less sights and more story would've given this one a boost. Regardless, a well-done little picture. Anyone who can appreciate how to bring such dreamy-nightmarish happenings to life will love this one!
