"Lovefield" is a 5.5-minute short film from 2008, so it will soon have its 10th anniversary. The writer and director is Mathieu Ratthe and this is a Canadian English-language production. Early on, we see a woman bleeding in a hay field and man who seems to be some kind of hillbilly standing next to her. He looks big, grisly and violent. What did he just do to the poor girl? Next scene we see him running to a car. Apparently he is looking for something to carry the woman away. But are things really what they seem? Watch for yourself, guys! I thought this was a great little movie, criminally underseen. It is dramatic, touching, funny and sweet and it's really rare that a film can combine all these attributes in itself, especially a short film. But this one here does. i also liked the very last scene when he uses his arms to catch the police officer's attention after early on we thought that would be the last thing he did actually. And lets be honest, the guy's laughing is so contagious at the end. You can just join in smiling. The film also tells a good lesson that we should not judge people from their looks and first of all get an accurate picture of the situation. I highly recommend this film. You don't want to miss out on this little gem. I watched it years ago for the first time and loved it and even if I knew what would happen this time, it was still as good as the first time.
