To make this engrossing 25-minute short, filmmaker Marc Isaacs spent two months riding the lift of an East End tower block in London. It's interesting to note the different reactions towards his presence and how they change in some instances as the project wears on.
As more time passes, the lift almost serves as a confessional booth to some residents, while others relate to him in more basic terms such as offering food or the occasional joke. I love the simplicity of the idea and Isaacs has executed it superbly. It's a great reminder that often the best ideas aren't complicated, nor do they require a huge budget or extensive crew. Check it out.

beggared by betel nut

i liked this movie, but less so as the cameraman started to talk. it reminded me of a francis bacon painting where people are also (seemingly) trapped in a confined space. people expose themselves willingly and seldom require a narrative.
