Manners of Dying
USA2016fiction23'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2017)
A very well constructed story with attention to detail, yet perverse in its original idea. A short film about ... killing. Thirty years after Krzysztof Kieślowski, Bo-You Niou enters a death cell with a camera and confronts a prison guard with a prisoner. Harry Parlington has supervised many executions. He separated himself from the emotions they evoked with a wall of procedures and lies which he repeated so often that he started to believe in them. It is the young convict, Kevin Barlow, who holds the keys to his humanity. The actors, Don Baldaramos and Timothy Lee DePriest, make a master duo here.
