This three-minute black-and-white film is famous director Cgristopher Nolan's very first work. He was in his 20s here. The lead actor resembles James McAvoy a bit, but is fairly unknown. Nolan cast him again after this one, also for a very small role in "Batman Begins". Anyway, the story seems to be about a man with some kind of disorder (why else would he destroy a phone?) who has a very strong desire to kill a bug in his apartment. There is one flaw with this movie though: There are no telephones so small that the "bug" could actually use them. The final revelation about the bug is one that fits Nolan in terms of his ideas in movie such as "Inception". Pretty forgettable short film (with over-the-top music) though and it probably would be completely unknown if it wasn't by one of the top directors these days. An okay watch at three minutes, but nothing one has to see.
