In "Connect" a woman (Tuppence Middleton) finds comfort, solace and some kind of connection with an unknown man (Daniel Lawrence Taylor) inside
of a crowded bus. Their connection comes in the form of gestures, gentle touch of hands, shy smiles and at times interrupted by the abrupt
movement of other passengers in the absurd chaos and hostility of the city. Samuel Abrahams' short is a beautiful and magical tale of hope and
comfort we all need in crazed times.
Basically, it's all about falling in love with a complete stranger in public transportation. The magic of movies
sometimes also applies to real life, we've all been there before since sometimes that one special person who makes a total difference can only be found
in those crowded and chaotic spaces. We need moments like this in our lives to fill the void of our daily routines after a long day's work or journey.
To make our world a little better.
Abrahams goes a take step further with his story by included inner moments with the woman where she imagines a murder taking place inside the bus with
a man who wants to sit down to read his paper and ends up commiting a murder; and the dance/musical moments that closes the film, pure poetry in motion.
I strongly recommend this film and I stand by this high note because it is a special film, original in some way and very good to watch. 10/10.
