Coins is made of proximity, tactility, the press of flesh on cupronickel visited in extended sequences that make the visceral of the numismatic. The drums' in the background might be whisked or whispered but they and the bathroom muzak are at a remove, an angle. One that's enough to impart motion to a round object placed upon it, to turn potential into headlong energy.
This is made of discomfort, the scrapes not just of sticks on percussive skins but over counters, of angles, of the closeness of skin. It is a dizzying thing, Nicole Huminski's direction of Maya Duftschmid's script is not so much horror as nausea, a striking and terrifying pice of reactive revulsion screened at 2022's Glasgow Short Film Festival as part of Scared Shortless. While not the only film in the programme to make a virtue of the viscerally vile, it's unique in its focus.
