“The film “Cloud is Gone” presents a captivating cinematic journey that transcends mere storytelling. It transports the audience into a distinct world, allowing them to intimately share in the emotions of the main character for a mesmerizing 20 minutes. While personal grief is universally painful, this film stands out by ingeniously intertwining it with the evolving urban landscape, lending it profound political and societal relevance. The film’s capacity to provoke debate and discussion is a testament to its depth. The masterful utilization of camera angles and choreographed camera movements adds a layer of visual delight, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Complemented by minimalist yet realistic sound design, “Cloud is Gone” engages the senses on multiple levels. In essence, “Cloud is Gone” is an earnest endeavor that sets itself apart from the cinematic crowd. Its ability to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and deliver a visual and auditory feast positions it as a standout work in contemporary cinema. In cinematic terms, it’s Wong Kar Wai meets Andrei Tarkovsky!”
a very compact and profesional execution of short movie production. The cinematography is superb yet poetic for each of scenes. The use of different color capture the emotions on screen. The acting department also very good and the actors deliver the script very well.
