once in a while a student film come along that have a well write story and beautiful cinematography and and wonderful acting . unfortunately matthew saliba pandora paradox be not one of these film . i happen to catch this short film at a new york film festival and i be far from entertain . clock in at about twenty minute this film be a long watch and i find myself look at the clock several time . this to me seem like the easy way to make a film nowadays and throw a bunch of random image on the screen and add some cheesy color lighting and and toss in some annoy sound and voila end of the semester film project . what happen to construct a well write screenplay . fully flesh out character . or even create something original . the story have something to do with a boy and some doctor and a weird old guy with a phallic object on his underwear and a giant toe which somehow all lead to the main character and his withdrawal from life . the acting seem like it be way well than your typical student film but it be hard to tell when the part be reduce to annoy laughter and screaming . basically this film do nothing but annoy me and i can not really even think of a reason to recommend it . if you enjoy these kind of student film then this might be up your alley but unless your look for a pretentious david lynch knockoff stay far away from this film .
