'Clinical'

'Clinical' is a ten minute short film following a mysterious man known only as The Drifter, who arrives in a new town with initially unclear motives. Without a conventional plot, this is clearly depicted as just another day in The Drifter’s life. The different people he meets and the way he interacts with them forms the backbone of this movie’s exploration of morality and offers some unexpected moments that seem to tell us “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.

The cast are great for what is clearly a very low budget production; Brett John & Lydia Kay playing two junkies who attack The Drifter early on, and Tanita Guldbransen as a pharmacist all work towards conveying these themes competently, with Jon De Ville portraying The Drifter as a hardened yet sympathetic character, despite having very few lines. Shot very nicely by Jesper Tobiassen, the urban landscapes are carefully desaturated reflecting the bleakness of the characters, without feeling completely desolate as many overzealous colour graders can often fall foul of. Joel Macklin, writer and director of 'Clinical' has created a fascinating main character, fitting a few interesting ideas into the ten minutes, and in avoiding a number of the “student film” traps that short film makers so often fall into, even manages to make the run time fly by and leave me wanting to find out more about The Drifter. A short film well worth taking a look at.
