Vancouver Film Festival “Interrogation” +
“Interruption” (00:45) + (00:51) #
A couple are led into a room by an estate
agent. Inside, a man is being tortured by
two gangsters. Time and again, they dip
his head into a bucket and start screaming
at him. The two lovers respond to these
events with indifference, their only concern
being to examine whether the room
meets their requirements. In the second
spot, a man is mowing his lawn when,
suddenly, he comes across a severed
human ear. After gazing at it intensely for
a moment, he simply tosses it over the
fence into the neighbour’s garden and
continues his work. “After 16 days of film,
nothing will faze you” runs the tagline for
this year’s Vancouver International Film
Festival.
