Surviving Desire

I’m unsure if this was adapted from a play, because if it wasn’t, it should certainly be revised and performed theatrically. The entire thing smacked of theatre, down to overblown gestures that would have been much more acceptable on a stage. While I understand that this was a purposeful move by the director, it was still jarring, and the slim amount of plot was not enough to carry the hour long short film. There were inspired moments, but that too was not enough to sustain this.
