It also was official selection in numerous fests - Palm Springs and Fanatastic Fest. This short won best director and actress award at Shanghai International Film Fest. The apartment looks warm and cozy and lived in- a far cry from ususal horror film apartments that look deserted and infested with creatures. Its rare to find a good horror minus the gores and the zombies. The makeup and visual effects are noteworthy, espeicailly because inspite of them being unusal, they blend in so beautifully with the mood of the film. There were places where I felt that the film has a leisurely pace and could be tighter, but the film quickly overcomes that and leaves a great aftertaste. The human body seems to be made of threads and laces, to be absorbed and devoured by threads and laces of the world (or the apartment). Inspite of being a horror, the film doesnt have a drop of blood. Eventually she decides to do something that makes us admire her. It mixes horror with comedy, and yet manages to keep you invested in the fate of the central character Anna.Īnna the protagonist does everything that a lay person would do in such a situation, I could imagine myself trying everything that she tried to get out of the contract fine print, but she fails. What if Wes Anderson, Michel Gondry or Tim Burton had decided to make a horror film? Vienna Waits for you is a delightfully beautiful film, with a well-developed narrative, lovable set constructions and beautiful lighting and shot taking. Only way to escape is delivering a new victim.
But Anna should have had a closer look at the fine-print of her rental contract – for the old Viennese apartment is a creature with never ending appetite, living off the youth of its residents. The overall message reminds me of John Lennon's "Instant Karma" - "we all shine on/like the moon and the stars and the sun." Basically, everything is going to be alright.After breaking up with her boyfriend, all Anna wants is a quiet place to hole up. It isn't going to pass him by because "Vienna waits for you". Vienna symbolizes some kind of future happiness. He's encouraging him to keep looking forward to the future ("dream on/But don't imagine they'll all come true") without committing himself to it yet ("you can't be everything you want to be before your time"). He's telling the kid to calm down because there is plenty of time to get life in order. Maybe he's a college student who is freaking out about having to go into the real world soon ("if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid?"). The narrator is just telling this "crazy child" to enjoy life more. Anyway, to me, this song is pretty self-explanatory. I searched all over the Internet last year until I found it, and then I bought The Stranger album. I heard it for the first time on a rerun of Taxi when I was probably 10 years old. I can't believe nobody has posted on this one yet. Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
