\"\"<\/a>I don\u2019t know how many audiences will click with \u201cGlimpse\u201d but for folks that can appreciate film as an experimental form of art with no real narrative, John Nicol’s movie is solid. It has no story and no dialogue and often time feels like some kind of music video, but it\u2019s well made. Director Nicol seems to know what kind of movie he\u2019s making, even if it\u2019s never quite clear throughout the eight minute run time.<\/p>\n

Implementing a flurry of imagery, editing, and industrial music, \u201cGlimpse\u201d is an interesting experimental work that attempts to look in to the madness a film strip causes a film lover. There\u2019s not a lot of explanation for the cause of the madness and who made the film, but \u201cGlimpse\u201d does set the spotlight on the addictive nature of provocative cinema and how it can bring out the dark sides of our persona. Or maybe \u201cGlimpse\u201d is a look at Nicol who is taking a look at his past films and has gone insane as the artist now that he\u2019s matured.<\/p>\n

While \u201cGlimpse\u201d can be a bit incoherent in a way, John Nicol\u2019s film is a neat experimental short that will hopefully allow audiences to offer up their own interpretations for what Nicol is trying to convey as a filmmaker, storyteller, and artist. I didn\u2019t really tackle its intended message, but I did watch with a profound mix of confusion, titillation, and amusement. This is the kind of short film I can see playing at Slamdance, and it deserves to at least be experienced by film buffs in the mood for something different and gritty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
