"Angst" is wonderful little film about love that I was fortunate enough to see at the Los Angeles International Short Film festival. It's an intimate story about the pain of emotional dissonance and dashed hopes as two people try to navigate the challenging dynamics of romantic relationships at the beginning of the millennium. The story begs the question of whether two disparate souls can ever really become one.
In the style of "Francois Ozon's "5 x 2" and Harold Pinter's "The Betrayal", the film begins at the heartbreaking end of the relationship and travels in reverse to finish at its innocent beginning. This journey is filled with lyricism and pathos. The cinematography is beautiful. The story is wonderfully acted and written by Gloria Huwiler. The assured direction and editing by Nunzio Fazio makes it a pleasure to watch. If you like drama, this is a great short film!
