Yorgos Lanthimos is one of the best-known directors from Greece. He's known for his dystopic movies, such as Dogtooth, The Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer. I get excited to watch his movies. So, I get the same feeling when I heard he directed a short film named Nimic.
It was on my watch list and thanks to Mubi, I managed to watch it! It's a short film but that doesn't mean it's an easy-to-watch movie given the fact that it was directed by Lanthimos.
Let's talk about the movie:
A guy, who is married and father to 2 kids, asked a random woman "have you got the time?" in the subway, and the guy's life has changed forever.
The woman starts copying the guy's behaviors. She follows him home and declares that she's the father. Mother and kids were surprised and not sure who is the father. The family starts testing both of them. Because the woman does everything the father does. And in the end, they decided that she is the father.
Well... surprised, right?
After the movie ends, you need to sit down and think about what did you just watch?! The key message of the movie is not clearly said. So I'm gonna tell you MY OPINION:
Every human being is different. We have some qualifications and appearance that differ us from other people. Yet this doesn't mean we can't be replaced. People who have similar qualifications can replace us well and our absence won't be noticed.
Thank you Lanthimos, you made us feel better. 👀
