The Appointment

The film follows Henry Salt, a writer who wakes up from a nightmare to find a mysterious entry in his diary. The entry notes an appointment at a restaurant, but Henry has no memory of arranging it. As he waits and no one shows up, he becomes increasingly obsessed with discovering the identity of his intended meeting.

This narrative explores themes of doubling and mistaken identity, with a surreal twist that reflects the fantastical elements found in works by E. T. A. Hoffmann and Roald Dahl. The running time of 19 minutes makes it a concise yet impactful experience, blending dark humor with intrigue. Physical media collectors may appreciate the film's unique take on the thriller genre and its artistic storytelling approach.
