Vienna Shorts: All That You Can’t Leave Behind

A bittersweet melancholy perfumes these six films, which operate toward the "bluer" end of the emotional spectrum. The teal-hued tones through which glimpse captures the natural world give way to the harsher black-and-white of the similarly bucolic The Last People. One way to enliven the gloom of rural ennui: hit the dance floor! And voilà—Wiggle Room takes up the burden of hedonistic gyration. The final trio, meanwhile, touch on parent-child relationships with offbeat wit (Living Jewel), virtuosic repurposing of archival material (RICHARD), and sophisticated intelligence (About Me). (ny)
