Haze


Anthony Chen's short film, Haze, brings together two teenagers spending the day 'wagging school' on an unusually hazy day in Singapore. They channel surf, eat anything they can find that requires minimal preparation and have sex. It is possibly her first time. Chen captures the rawness of teen awkwardness and immaturity nicely but his film doesn't reach any great nor new heights. Directors have explored this idea before, and in my opinion, a lot more interestingly.

6 on the DaveScale.
