Jesus has come back to Earth to fulfill His obligation as the Son of God. It's the last day of the year in 1999 and Jesus is troubled by what he is being ordered to do. He's a hippy while his dad is a buzzcut downer. Satan is here too. He wears red so we know he's evil. A blue Wal-Mart smock would have sufficed but I'm not the director.
All the acting is up to par except PJ Harvey. She looked lost. The script could have been better but instead it zings typical meaning of life one liners that are charecteristic of new adults. Think Emo rock but less clever (if that's even possible). The writers went for depth but fell into the a wasteland of cliches. Camera work is muddled by different lens that is at first annoying then numbing which must mean it works since I didn't notice it after a while. This being a student film, Satan stops to speak into a microphone while addressing the camera to spout off something "prophetic."
Student film doesn't mean cheaply or poorly made. It's an odd film but the production quality is first rate.
I liked the movie because I don't see many student films, so the experimenting was fun to witness, and it's short, so it didn't have time to annoy me, which may be the best thing I can say about the movie.
