(2013) ***
Twenty-six
directors each assigned a letter of the alphabet and given $5000 were asked to
create a story about death without any restrictions. The wildly uneven results typically found in
an anthology film have never been more apparent than here. For every good short there is one that is
mediocre and one that is just awful.
Some are just plain disgusting or offensive. Still, even after suffering through a bad one
(they are only 5 minutes in length after all) you will be optimistic that the
next one will be better. The 5 minute
length lends itself nicely to getting other things done around the house. Watch a short; throw your clothes into the laundry
machine. Watch a short; vacuum that rug you've been meaning to get to. Watch a
short, put away the dishes. You get it. Although only about 1/3 of the films are any
good, I still recommend checking this out.

Sounds like a pretty interesting concept.
Btw, you've been digging up some interesting choices this year, good job!
agree that anthologies are often wildly uneven, the variety is a "pro" but sitting through the crap is a "con."
What letter was the best?
I also want to know what letter was the best. Is the picture from D for dog? Or W for wolf? Maybe R for Rabies?
Also - that dog/wolf looks very sad to me for some reason.
