一面是万丈深渊,一面是悬崖绝壁,当她恢复知觉,发现自己身陷险境,生与死就在咫尺之间。是坐以待毙,还是绝地求生?她用残破的肢体摸索活下去的可能,但正在这样的绝境之中,岂料天公不作美,一场暴雨即将来临…… 本片由澳大利亚导演Tim Egan拍摄,从最初的概念到拍摄脚本,只花了8个小时的时间,短片剧本受到导演生命中两个关键时刻的启发——一次严重的车祸,以及和一个沮丧的朋友的交谈。“我依旧记得我的手指扣在湿漉漉的路面上的那种感觉。”当时他被撞倒在繁忙的交通中心的车道上,无助的躺在沥青柏油之间,随时可能被第二辆车碾过。 不可否认导演的亲身经历让他对死亡的恐惧,以及求生的本能都有了更真切的认识。本片的细节刻画相当出色,角色的每一个动作都生死攸关,而在共同承担这令人窒息的紧张氛围的同时,内心的强大在外部恶劣的条件下却又那样不堪一击。 Tim Egan凭借这部黑暗风格的极简主义短片,一举拿下2016纽约翠贝卡电影节(Tribeca Film Festival)官方选择奖、西班牙锡切斯奇幻电影节(Sitges Film Festival)最佳短片奖、美国奇幻电影节(Fantastic Fest)、法国PIFFF电影节金瞳奖、俄罗斯TIFF电影节最佳短片奖等众多奖项。
