Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho - Short Film

This is a beautiful example of a well made short film, it's triple the time of the film I'm expecting to make, however it still complies to the short film convention of simplicity. The film has a grainy palette to it that makes it feel warm, you can feel the heat of Portugal coming through the screen.
The film is shot in Portuguese and comes with English subtitles which I think adds to the overall effect, the use of foreign language enhances it to an intellectual level  and allows us to understand the film through visuals and sound not dialogue, everything is clear from the screen. The language is also not verbal english but formulated, written English that adds a childish tint to the dialogue. I would describe the overall effect of the film as charming, it initially scares us into thinking its going to be emotional and highlight prejudices to blind people but instead it shows an equality for two minorities, the blind and homosexuals.

In the film there are often two scenes running at a time, and the edit cuts between them to show a daily routine or regularity that occurs, this is a technique that I might find effective in my short film making. The ending also leaves us asking/wanting more, there is no definitive we can merely guess which I feel is a hugely common theme in the short film.
