So, 'The Good News' is one of those quirky little gems from 2001, part of the trio that inspired 'Jojo in the Stars.' It has this offbeat, almost whimsical vibe that really sets it apart. The pacing is brisk, almost like a visual haiku, which works well for the microshort format. You get a sense of wonder mixed with a hint of melancholy, and the practical effects, though simple, have a charm that feels refreshing. The performances are understated but manage to convey a lot with minimal dialogue. It’s definitely not your typical short film; there’s something distinctly unique about its storytelling style and presentation.
'The Good News' has seen limited releases over the years, making original formats quite scarce among collectors. The film's unique approach and its connection to 'Jojo in the Stars' heighten its appeal for those interested in experimental short films. It’s one of those pieces that often flies under the radar, but for collectors focused on the evolution of microshort cinema, it holds a certain allure.
