Nick and Kate (2003)
A beautiful character study
26 December 2003 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
With the recent emphasis on visual effects, squibs, and action in shorts and student films, it is refreshing to come across one that bucks the trend. Nick and Kate is clearly shot on celluloid and maintains its emphasis squarely on the characters. Of course themes of sexuality, voyeurism, and psychology are par for the course in the film noir genre, this film has a twist, and it's nice to see a character so fully fleshed out and examined (the point, after all, of a short). And while I am sure the filmmakers intended an homage to the postwar noir films, the psychological aspects remind me more of recent Cronenberg or David Lynch. A very interesting first film. Surely much more is to come from its makers.
