More Questions Than Answers
A very interesting short film, particularly for those who find crossword puzzles a challenging form of addiction. However, several disjointed elements tend to detract from the generally whimsical premise that the puzzle solver seems to be having all of his solutions presented to him by audio effects experienced while working on the puzzle.
First of all, why the gross vulgarity accompanying his making of a cup of tea?
Second, I know lemons can smell and taste good, but really should one lick both sides of an extremely large knife with which one has just cut one?
Third, if the only character is speaking Polish and has a billboard advertisement for a Polish film on his wall, why is he doing a puzzle in which both the clues and the answers are in English? To make matters even more geographically querulous, why was this film shot in Australia?
Finally, and most importantly, is there really a capital crime in this man's past, and one which the successive solutions in the puzzle lead him to admitting to himself? Unfortunately, this question is posed only as the short film comes to its abrupt end.
Still, quite a credible effort.
