What I Watched -- Narrative Shorts: I Do

More SLIFF short films!  All the ones in this series were related somehow to marriage.  As with all collections of shorts, some were better than others.  I can't remember anymore what order they were shown in, so here they are alphabetically:

Alpha.  I have almost no recollection of this film.  Which tells you something about it.

Annie Waits.  A girl just can't seem to find the right guy.  Not memorable.

Bonboné.  An tale of perhaps the world's most unusual attempt at conception.

Evil Woman.  A surprising story of a long-time girlfriend who isn't what she seems.  Interesting, but weird ending.

The Girl in the Dress.  A coming-to-reality tale whose main characters are the scorned ex-girlfriend and Henry VIII.  Very amusing.

Halvmand.  A middle-aged couple tries to conceive.  It works, much to the surprise of one of them. It was an interesting meditation on what surely happens in some people's real lives.

I've Got You.  An airline stewardess meets a stranger in a bar.  The predictable one-night stand ensues.  The rest is slightly less predictable.

In a Heartbeat (complete film).  An animated tale of timid young love.  Adorable.

Make It Up.  Neither S nor I think this film made the final cut.  Usually they make an announcement if one of the programmed films was not included for some reason -- and they didn't -- but neither of us remember it.

Rattled.  A young Muslim man struggles through the process of finding a bride.

Vows.  An animated film about a wedding day that isn't quite what one hoped, but accomplishes the goal nevertheless.  Another winner.
