Review of the short film elevator
The short film "Elevator" is a poignant exploration of people's lives done by one man, as the name suggests, in an elevator. In a residential block of flats. This is a budget production, so the camera work is naturally unsophisticated, but it does the job. The fascinating thing about this film is the way the cameraman develops a bond of trust with the people who live in this apartment complex during the course of this film through small talk and basic human interaction, until it gets to the point where these people are happily telling him their life stories, their thoughts and feelings, and other things we as people feel we need to establish a bond of trust before revealing to other people... or when we're drunk and end up having deep conversations with strangers. If I have any complaints about the film, I feel that if it had been longer then the director could have allowed the audience to get to know these people more.
