| Modern Life is Rubbish | |
| by Syd Briscoe | |
|
|
Greg Trowel is looking for love. He's only been in two (perhaps three) cults, his penis is the size of a tooth, and he's "hoping to get adopted by some famous people and do the whole nepotism thang." So, as you can imagine, his search for long-term, meaningful romance is going well. This sharp short film follows the character around New York City, and forms an irreverent satire of every 'quirky screwball comedy' you've been told is artistically important and found unwatchable. He fires off one liners relentlessly ("It took me years to learn that underwear is where you put your ass and balls"), pausing to introduce the weird friend he's writing a film with, muse about the origins of America, and ruminate gloomily on his path in life. A final sequence questions why love in real life can't be like the movies, and ends on a cliff-hanger which will amuse even the most jaded viewers. This is a deftly written parody of a certain type of fast-talking, self-consciously weird, aesthetically samey American cinema, and should make some aspiring filmmakers watching cringe and hurry to create another draft of their latest scriptural masterpiece.
