Synopsis: East End (2001) is a short with a “real” cast, listed in the beginning but during the first minutes you get hardly anything of them to see (Graham Chave, Willy Brister, Wayne May, Ian Jackson). It is all in English and subtitled in Japanese. The sun is hot and white and it reminds me immediately of Luc Besson’s Dernier Combat (1983). White and grey, a big screen with noises and voices: we hear a man suffering. The film follows the hardscrabble day-to-day exploits of a nameless hero as he is trying to survive amidst violent, desperate men and desolate landscapes. Later we will watch them all again building a metal construction out in the desert. So these men here will find an Asian guy, almost dead: “You have got a point!” The Promised Land? No, and it is someone else who will die in the end. Or will simply end up in hallucinations. (Claudia Siefen - www.desistfilm.com)
