Our suggestions
A professional cellist has an encounter with a stranger on the subway which has unexpected and far-reaching ramifications on his life.
"Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos has established himself as one of the leading names in current cinema, with films such as 'The Lobster', 'Dogtooth' and 'The Favourite'. Now, in 'Nimic', this brief experimental exercise in short film format, Lanthimos seems to go beyond mere understanding. To do this, he tells the story of a professional cellist who meets a stranger on the subway and begins to experience transformations in his life. It's a strange movie, bordering on senselessness. And no wonder. Although 'Nimic' resembles the word "mimic" or something like that, "nimic" in Romanian means nothing. This may be the proposal of the short film, which undoubtedly brings a disturbing character and, above all, should raise discussions about the real meaning behind Lanthimos's story."
