[MUBI] The hunt for man. Masks that show the inexpression of... a nightmare, perhaps. '#34;The sleep of reasons produces monsters'#34;. Goya inspires Glazer. A rope that falls into the void. A man who hangs on it. 86 seconds of suspense. And the tense music of Mica Levi.

An impactful short film, where uncomfortable and intense sounds reinforce the gloomy atmosphere. Characters wearing masks with bizarre expressions add to the unsettling atmosphere. The minimalist story shocks with its violence and oppressive acts.

Jonathan Glazer has, as you would expect from a man who honed his craft directing music videos, a mastery of conveying an awful lot in brief images. In this short, a feeling of utter dread and almost total hopelessness is beautifully put across in less than ten minutes. A man is shaken down from a tree by masked figures who take a quick photo before casting him down a well with a rope around his neck. This nightmarish scenario is made all the worse by the segue from quick, jumpy shots to the film’s most horrible: fixed on the rapid unspooling of the rope as the man falls, held for an uncomfortably long time as Mica Levi’s score increases in intensity. A little masterpiece.

A horror short that packs such a punch in its 5-minute runtime. This one feels like a tease but it's short and unsettling nonetheless, thanks to the score and the masks which are viscerally terrifying.‎
