2LDK review

Interesting result...

**Contains spoilers**

For a work that was filmed in 8 days it isn't bad. I'm interested in seeing what the other film in the Duel Project is like (called Aragami). The concept of the project was to create a work which featured 2 actors/actresses in a battle scene in the one setting in the time scale of one week. Of course, this was a challenge apparently invented when the two directors were drunk.

The story: Two actresses are in opposition for the same film role and have to live together in the same 2LDK (2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen) appartment. Their hate for each other escalates with the pressure they are under and they each descend into madness, lashing out at the other.

The differences between the spurts of violent energy exerted by the two women and their seemingly calm, collected states is at times is a little weird and extreme. Neither tries very hard to defend themselves yet they're willing to expend plenty of energy on the offensive. I was also slightly confused at some of the stuff they had available to fight with in their appartment...

The ending was alright, apart from the horribly done blood effects. That just wasn't realistic at all. I quite liked the way it ended so bitterly though.

All-in-all: Not bad, not great. I found myself laughing at parts which just seemed ridiculous, yet others were very well done. It's probably more interesting when seen with it's partner..

6/10
