THE BLUE ESCAPE

THE LINE

Regrets, I’ve had a few...
What sensations do you experience when you meditate upon age?
The answer will probably depend on how old you are
but the unnamed lead in the enigmatic short film
The Line experiences a range of emotions
from regret and despair
through to anger and on to hopelessness.

Much is left to your imagination
the back story of the old man is right there for you to fill in the gaps yourself.
Why is he in such misery?
What is driving him towards his suicidal actions?

This is the first film by Brooklyn based Joe Petrilla
and as such is quite remarkable in terms of the control over both material,
dialogue and storyline shown here.
I think the word that I was just looking for was restraint.
See what you think.

The short movie stars a very familiar face
one of those character actors who you immediately recognize
but may struggle finding his name.
It is James Rebhorn who has appeared in many movies
including Independence Day, The Talented Mr. Ripley,
Snow Falling on Cedars, The Game, Scent of a Woman and My Cousin Vinny.
Unsurprisingly the film did well at Festivals
and won best short at the Festivus Film Festival in Denver last year.
