26 Minutes | Directed by Andrea Arnold | Social Realist Drama | 2003

| 'Wasp' |
This film was directed by Andrea Arnold in 2003 and works to offer the audience a valuable insight into the lives of the underclass within modern day society. The film passes very little judgement on the difficulties of this supposed social underclass referenced to in the movie, and instead places spectators in a position that allows them to understand explicitly the economic and social oppression that is experienced by the main characters who feature, and encourage them to form a conclusion of their own in regards to the issues put forth. The film has a distinct three act structure that reflects the straightforward and unaccommodating reality in which the protagonists live whilst also working to escalate the sense of threat that is unfulfilled until the end of the short film. However, this ominous sense of foreboding is foreshadowed through the initial opening sequence wherein the tile of the film I first presented.
