"The Clown (Le Queloune)"

A short film by Patrick Boivin, "The Clown (Le Queloune)" is a strange mix of the humourous, the emotional and the thought-provokingly genius. Following the re-animation of a deceased clown, the film illustrates the life (if that is, indeed, the word) of a newly-risen zombie, and his coming to terms with such a fact. "The Clown" is only a little over eleven minutes long, yet in that time I found myself feeling a myriad of different emotions. Boivin has surely created a piece of art with this film, where lack of dialogue does so much more in making the film as brilliant as it is. The cinematography is beautiful, and the pacing; perfect. All in all a masterpiece of short film that says only what it needs to. Be prepared for an ending that is so fitting it left me watching the whole thing again! Linked for your enjoyal; "The Clown (Le Queloune)".
