Vixo S @vixo_six 3d Two People Exchanging Saliva is a strange and unsettling short about a world where genuine affection has been replaced by rules, distance and fear. Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh avoid explaining the logic of this society, choosing instead to make the viewer feel its discomfort. The film works because desire becomes dangerous. A simple act of closeness carries emotional and social risk, turning intimacy into rebellion. Zar Amir Ebrahimi and Luana Bajrami give restrained performances built from glances, hesitation and quiet vulnerability, allowing very little dialogue to carry real tension. Its ending leaves behind regret rather than certainty. The short does not decode every metaphor, and that ambiguity is part of its force. It lingers because it asks what remains of human connection when a society teaches people to fear the act of feeling something real.

Reminded me of some of the Salvador Dali films from years ago. (Anyone remember the "Andalusian Dog"?) See more Renee C @RT31418217 Mar 16 Out of the 5 shorts this was the worst. The other 4 were great! Can’t believe this got an Oscar. Boring, made no sense, tedious. Just plain stupid. See more John E @RT38545467 Mar 14 Long, tedious, repulsive, so supposedly intellectual. A poor remake of "La Dolce VIta" in an alternative universe, perhaps? At a time when very real violence is afflicting the globe, it is sad that advantaged artists can say little more than this. See more Kalissa H. @kali_416 Mar 12 Dystopian done really well. The dystopian world is not explained which is not necessary for this work. The point is the character, not the society itself. It’s a love story that takes place in an interesting setting which made me entertained the whole time. See more Julie S @jds958 Mar 9 I cannot recommend this film. I can't even say what's about. I spent the whole film trying to understand the meaning of slapping as payment, the breathing into someone's face when starting work, the garlic gum, the disdain for teeth brushing, and ultimately came away totally befuddled. It's like a joke that has no point. See more Read all reviews
