Niccolo Montanari zeigt uns hier bei GoSee 'HIM & HER' - die moderne Interpretation einer Kurzgeschichte von Anton Tschechow aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Der erste narrative Kurzfilm von Regisseurin Daria Geller zeigt, wie sich die emotionale Intelligenz - sprich die Art und Weise, wie wir lieben und hassen, im Laufe der Jahre nicht wirklich verändert hat. Der Film ist eine Hommage an die starken Gefühle wie Wut, Hass und Eifersucht, die unabdingbar zur oftmals rein positiv besetzen Liebe gehören - und diese erst zur hell brennenden Flamme werden lassen, die wir dann alle im Leben wie auf der Bühne bzw. hier im Film so gerne feiern.
Daria Geller zum Film: 'A modern interpretation of ‘He & She’, a short story consisting of letters between two lovers written by Anton Chekhov in the 19th century, ‘Him & Her’ illustrates how the way we love hasn’t changed over the years. Directed by Daria Geller, ‘Him & Her’ questions the nature of love – an anti-fairy tale offering a more realistic depiction of relationships. A tale of love and hate, the short film explores toxic dynamics which, though they don’t fit into society’s expectations of romance, can form an intrinsic part of love.'
Fashionfilm Spezialist und Kurator Niccolo Montanari : 'The film revolves around the concept of love and hate being inescapably connected. The playfulness, the teasing, the pushing and pulling become behaviors that the two main characters have adopted over the years – a visceral way of loving which they thoroughly enjoy and despise at the same time. In an unfortunate paradox, only with the ones that we truly love do we feel comfortable enough to show the worst of ourselves.
‘Him & Her’ is the first narrative short film directed by Geller. It’s currently being screened at a range of international film festivals and has won Best Short Film and Best Actress at Cinalfama, Best Short and Best Cinematography at Indie Short Fest, and has been nominated for Best Cinematography at ARFF Berlin International Awards.'
