It&#8217;s an odd and discomforting tale about a solitary writer whose fictional world is intruding upon the real world. The film is a quiet and focused examination of a writer&#8217;s creative doubts and fears. I particularly like the bit where a Chinese policeman who is a friend of the writer comes over and can&#8217;t seem to see the dead body that is perhaps a result of the unrestricted imagination of the writer. The film also has a lovely soft celluloid look even though it was shot entirely on a Canon DSLR.\u00a0 Also, pay attention to the beautiful and eerie background audio.<\/p>\n<div class=\"media\"><object width=\"580\" height=\"326\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=37786043&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00adef&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" \/><embed width=\"580\" height=\"326\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=37786043&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00adef&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" \/><\/object><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a short film from Beijing, China directed by Joewi Verhoeven.
