Bob
A girl invites a costumed stranger off the street to her older sister’s dinner party. The mysterious man simply called ‘Bob’ seems friendly enough……
Power is major theme in this short film as we bare witness to psychological torment, often for amusement or self-pleasure. Cody Dermon and Haydn Winston (Des and Lionel) give truly intimidating performances as the megalomaniac interrogators – albeit with a humorous edge. Physical torture is withheld from the audience and never shown – the unfolding drama is in the menacing threats through Pinter’s dialogue.
To adapt a stage-play into an 8-minute short is a brave step to walk, but Richard Corso has created an engaging short that is thrilling to watch. This experimental dramedy may not be for everyone, but the superb acting delivery alone is enough for us to recommend.
