Single Spaced

About This Movie

Single Spaced is an intriguing little gem that captures the essence of film noir in a modern, yet retro, package. Clocking in at just about 16 minutes, it’s a whirlwind of atmosphere and tone that really gives you that claustrophobic feel. The protagonist, a portly lad, embodies the struggle of escaping reality, and you can feel the weight of his decisions. It’s not just the story, but those practical effects that stand out—like a throwback to the gritty visuals of the 30s, yet fresh enough to feel relevant. Pacing is tight, leaving no room for fluff, and the performances are surprisingly nuanced for such a brief runtime. Definitely a distinctive piece worth discussing among aficionados.
