A man’s mind is playing tricks regarding when and how his relationship took a turn for the worse.
Did you ever wake up one day asking yourself, “What happened”? Struggling to put together the where, who, why, what, and when? A Case of You is exactly that! John wakes up in his apartment one morning, and, in real-time, he wanders from room to room, trying to figure out what went wrong between him and Emily. Why is he alone? What happened?
The one 18-minute shot is impressive. It takes a huge amount of preparation in preproduction where EVERYONE in front and behind the camera gets to know EXACTLY what they need to do when filming starts. The beauty of Jack Davie’s creation is the marriage of his directing and writing, which provides practical answers and raises existential questions. No spoonfed drama here. The mind works in mysterious and, more often than not, incomprehensible ways. Try to keep track of how John and Emily’s relationship deteriorated. It’s a non-linear jigsaw; every event, utterance, and action is part of it.
A standing ovation goes out to writer/director Davies, actors Jamie Draven and Julia Hickman, and every crew member who made this film possible. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wxTj8ZBUEo
