Dummy

2020 · 13 min

A cold, clinical reconstruction that quietly unsettles as it turns its gaze on the observers rather than the crime.

Genres
Drama
Overview
Using a faceless doll criminal reenacts a brutal crime. But surprisingly he is not the one being judged. There seems to be an odd one out in the investigative group. The film premiered in the Berlinale Short competition programme.
How it feels
Dark, tense, cynical and satirical. Measured and demanding.
About
