Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Ahmad Ardalan First of all I would like to thank Cisicki for giving me a chance to view this. Haunting and creepy is what I can say of this short movie "Smoke"The use of the cameras are clever, The music choices fits in with the scenes, It gives you a madness feeling from start to end , and you don't want it to end, I was looking at the time and i just didn't want it to reach the End as I was really into guessing what's going & to who.It starts with confusion, dark imagination and lust and ends with them it is really interesting how all these emotions come together without words .Great Direction and good body language by the actors.Wanna see more from you.We need messed up confusing stories as most are predictable lately.
Aaron1375 I am guessing the maker of this film contacted me and wanted me to watch his creation and review it. Why he contacted me is rather strange anyone can see from my reviews that for the most part I am not the best reviewer here at IMDb. However, I watched this film and have to say I do not have any idea what it could be about. Usually I would be more negative about a film such as this, but this one had such an interesting look and progressed in such a way to keep me watching. I also did not get bored as the imagery and the look of the film was top notch. I just did not really get what the film was trying to get across towards the viewer. Very strange, as scenes came across seemingly at random, however, they also seemed to have purpose. Just a hard movie for me to review. Like I said, not really the type of film I would even consider watching, however, this person seemed to want me to review it so I did. The film seems to revolve around mainly a young man, and the other main character seems to be a girl. There is a driving scene, a romance type scene and a dinner party that is very strange indeed. All tied to a man sitting at his apartment listening to a voice recorder. Very strange, but done so in a way to at least keep it interesting.
namashi_1 'Dym' is a Haunting tale, superbly directed and executed in 7-minutes by filmmaker Grzegorz Cisiecki. It's a tricky short film, that explodes loads of characters, some nudity and brief violence. 'Dym' is one of the finest/haunting short films I've seen recently. 'Dym' tells The story of a person who became the captive of surrealistic madness. The idea, is first of all, exemplary, considering that it's a short film. Cisiecki posted this effort on YouTube and I couldn't help but check it out.What works truly for this short, is it's David Lynch kinda storytelling. 'Dym' is not spoon-feed Cinema at all, you need to watch and understand. I saw it twice to understand what was this 7-minute effort trying to say. It deals surrealistic madness, and Cisiecki seems to have truly inhaled his imagination.'Dym' not only offers off-beat and challenging Screenplay and Direction, but also packs some Superb Cinematography, Crisp Editing and Excellent Performances by it's cast. The lead actor, especially, is remarkable and gets into the skin of the character. Final Word - Rushing to a Cineplex to catch 3 hours of Entertainment? Guess what, 'Dym' can be viewed at your home, Go to YouTube and watch it. It takes 7-minutes of your time and is worth it. And... if you didn't get what it wanted to say in the first viewing... I say.... Action Replayy!
camperjr Keeps in mind while reading this, i have never seen a short film before, so maybe some thing I found interesting might not suppose to be and maybe some flaws I saw weren't flaws at all.This is a very artsy film. The director had allot of great ideas, and his cast gave it there complete effort. The cast performed great, especially the lead man.The film didn't have any conversation in it, and used sound effects and music to demonstrate mood and the atmosphere of the scene. The film succeeds at pulling the audience in by doing that. Much the same way M. Night Shyamalan does it in "The Sixth Sense" My only complaint about the film, was that there is no identifiable plot. Is that what short films are supposed to be like, i don't know, but I had a hard time figuring out what was going on. i thought maybe the lead was upset and having flashbacks of a happier time, but even in these so called flashbacks he seems upset. My theory is the whole thing is one big day dream, and at the end where there is a girl standing behind him, that is back to real life. I guess we will never know, it's up to the director to interpret what the film should be about.Artisitically wonderful, and full of great performances.
