Clocking in at a brief 13 minutes, this short film would later be developed into the masterpiece of the same name, launching Wes Anderson and the Owens brothers into super-stardom. Here, more than ever, their talent is on display as the dialogue and delivery shine through the grainy, black and white, hand-held image.
Watching this film, it seems as if the feature script was already written, then pared down to its basics for the short. It shares much of its dialogue with the feature, and two years later, many of the scenes would be refilmed almost identically - with a modest, but much larger budget.
A great treat for fans.
