2 Kings (2011)
A spectacular tour de force
It is hard to find superlatives sufficient to describe this film. The filmography is excellent. The acting is superb - beyond superb. The editing is crisp, and the film, though a short film, is emotionally stunning. It is also a very dark film, not only with respect to its plot line, but also with respect to the message of loneliness and connection that is its central theme. One reads a great deal about twins, but I have never encountered such a profound exposition of the psychological intricacy of being a twin, and certainly no verbal description that approaches in depth of understanding what this film conveys. Is the writer-director- producer-actor somehow possessed of special insight into the state of mind of a twin? One can only guess. In short, Jon Alex (I assume this is his real name) can be proud of an artistic achievement that excels in every aspect of film-making.
