Dorothy (2007) watch online HD

Not to sound like too much of a prating, garrulous fan, but "Dorothy" is an exceptional, accomplished and sensitive piece of film-making. Jasmine Adams and Josh Benn have collaborated to produce a distinctive visual style that beautifully frames the isolation and awkwardness of the souls dwelling within the Roadside Motel.

It's incredibly lazy of me to make comparisons to David Lynch when talking about "Dorothy", but I think I can justify the analogy with this statement: David Lynch makes films about deaf people on drugs, stylised paeans to miscommunication punctuated by a mostly immobile camera. "Dorothy" contains no deaf people, no midgets, no Kyle McLachlan and no weirdness for the sake of weirdness, rather, it is a lush, uncomfortable, amusing and heartfelt trip to a place and person isolated from everywhere else. Plus, it's beautifully shot. It's what David Lynch should be doing, instead of, well, whatever it is he does now.

The film's tone is at once engaging, sinister and rich. You will visit an environment that could sustain a feature film. This is a breathtaking piece of work.

Coming out of Curtin University, this student film is excellently constructed and produced. A compelling story and characters, this short was nominated for an award that pitted it against professional shorts made by crews with years more experience, but held its own.

Set in a motel, the story follows a young girl, Dorothy, as she leaves the shadows and steps out on her own with the help of another glamorous young woman, Marie, whose life holds only tragedy and burns too bright to end in anything but. Dorothy, a maid who lives through the objects that others discard and leave behind, begins to use Marie as an example of living her own life. Or is it more a case of assuming an identity?

Great use of colour to create a surreal atmosphere. love the visual aspect of this film brining the plot and characters together beautifully.

Dorothy is a lonely girl stealing bits of other peoples lives to fill the void in her own. She comes across a little creepy, which is sort of what you would expect from someone gathering bits of other peoples lives to fill their own... Creepy but not evil...

Rico is a "cool dude" from the past, old band posters on the walls (and the neon pink flamingo) are testaments to this.

Marie is probably the most complex character there. And the one that sets change in motion.
