This work is the first of its kind to single out individual short fiction films for comprehensive presentation and close study. Two Men and a Wardrobe (Roman Polanski, Poland, 1958, 15 min.), Coffee and Cigarettes (Jim Jarmusch, USA, 1986, 6 min.), Sunday (John Lawlor, Ireland, 1988, 8 min.), Cat's Cradle (Liz Hughes, Australia, 1991, 12 min.), Eating Out (Pal Sletaune, Norway, 1993, 7 min.), Come (Marianne Olsen, Ulrichsen, Norway, 1995, 4.5 min.), Wind (Marcell Ivanyi, Hungary, 1996, 6 min.), Possum (Brad McGann, New Zealand, 1997, 14 min.), and The War Is Over (Nina Mimica, Italy, 1997, 7 min.) are the nine short fiction films studied, and they represent a broad range of storytelling approaches and a number of very different film cultures.

And I could care less about how Orwell likes his tea or his defense of English cooking. I only wish it mentioned the contents because I bought the solution book when thius one has the answers on the back. Not worth it. I visited the site several years ago and it was just a moving experience. Of course, if the photo is posed so that shoes appear, more than a few of those pictured are wearing Tod's, but it truly comes across more as very appropriate (the subjects are generally casually dressed). This is simply not true. Gee, I hope this book gets made into a film. The authors are trying to touch every tool of the oracle8 just on the outset. Why can’t she have more friends in Chicago? I don’t get it.
