The Abyss
I was given a heads up about two trailers on the official site of Julien Zenier’s shocking and ‘cutting edge’ Spanish short film SNIP. Having watched Zenier’s piece I found it to be a dark and very disturbing work with no shortage of blood. 12 minutes of helplessness and eventual self expression by the edge of a knife. Wow.
Glued to his TV set, a man channel-surfs frenetically, zapping from one stultifying show to the other. As he grows more and more indifferent to the constant stream of violent and crude images, he stands up and engages himself in an unspeakable act of self-liberation.
SNIP is Julien Zenier’s first shocking and cutting edge Spanish Short Film, starring Zoe Berriatúa (Bigas Luna’s Volavérunt, África...), featuring some extremely realistic body modifications FX by Quimera FX, and heightened by a stunning chiaroscuro cinematography by David Acereto (BackWoods, The Night of the Sunflowers...). The film also counts on a suffocating sound design made by the cult film maker Cesar Velasco Broca -aka Regis Muskiz- (Avant Petalos Grillados, Transharmonic Nights...).
You’re going to make sure that your knives are nowhere near the television remote after seeing them.
