Have you ever had a dream in which you've been cleaning a bathroom while filmmaker Henry Jaglom (Venice/Venice) talks over the phone about movie sex? Well, now you can have that experience vicariously via Rainier Judd's brief, weird introductions to each chapter in this short film anthology on the theme of seduction (of one or another kind). The section called "Marquee" offers Seth Edelstein's sweet World War II anecdote, Anticipating Sarah, in which an earnest G.I. returning home from European trenches awaits a woman to whom he has written but never seen. Marianne Olsen Ulrichsen's Kom is a touching tale of an old woman's erotic recollections from youth and the richness of love in winter. Hisao is Masahiro Sugano's startling, herky-jerky, experimental document about an underground Japanese singer-songwriter lured by fame. There's also an award-winning, animated piece called Lily and Jim, a witty and knowing testament to the ups and downs (mostly downs) of a blind date. Each of the films is accompanied by selectable production notes, and several feature alternate soundtracks, including a monologue by performance artist Annie Sprinkle for Kom. Certainly the biggest conversation piece among the remaining titles is Jeremy Boxer's The Last Supper, which concerns a rather ordinary-looking, yuppie dinner party in which a small practical joke leads to a shocking conclusion. You'd swear the story is based on urban legend, but Boxer insists it was derived from fact. --Tom Keogh




Rating: - KOM makes it worthwhile
I bought this DVD in order to have the beautiful short film "KOM". The rest didn't really appeal to me that much.

Rating: - solid collection of short films
Usually when I take a chance on a collection of films (or songs, or short stories), it's with the expectation that the good ones will offset the bad ones. In this DVD, almost all the films are first-rate. The rundown:

TUNNEL OF LOVE is an expertly-filmed tale of seduction with a twist with a nice 1960s British feel to it.
KOM is a brief sweet tale of love, age, and nostalgia.
ANTICIPATING SARAH-- a World War II story of a woman testing a soldier's love that has a nice O'Henryish ... Read More

Rating: - Greatest Collection!
Seduction is the first issue I experienced from the Short collection. I was hooked. It's definently not for the simple-minded. The issue of seduction is one that is in all of our lifes and these short film takes our minds into realms of thinking that might (as my friends have said) leave you a little disturbed, in a good way.
Watch in the company of mary Jane.
In regards to the commercials I found them very entertaining. It gives a nice break between each film.

Rating: - Cavet Emptor...
The quality of films presented notwithstanding I feel cheated by the manufacturer/distributor which is Time/Warner. Nowhere do they warn that the DVD comes WITH ADVERTISMENTS THAT CANNOT BE ZIPPED PAST! I did not want to go through an for BMW's, for Henry Jaglom's personal phone call and a few Hollywood schlock trailers. Bad, because short independent films are good for your soul.

Rating: - Like an Indy Film Fest in My Living Room!
I was delighted to view SHORT: SEDUCTION last night...The Shorts were spectacular!
"KOM" actually made me (nearly) cry.
"THE LAST SUPPER" actually Stunned me!!
"THE CAT AND THE MOON" was so sweet I ooo'd and ahh'd til I nearly swooned!

I didn't mind the comercials too much...this is a DVDMAG after-all. It's probably how they cover the production costs. They've got to have advertisers.

This is a MUST OWN for any fan of INDY-FILMS or SHORTS.
