    Film Review: PUZZLE (2019) (Short Film)

    Peter 'Witchfinder' HopkinsBy Peter 'Witchfinder' Hopkins27th September 2020No Comments1 Min Read

    PUZZLE **** Switzerland 2019 Dir: Vincenzo Aiello. 4 mins

    Late at night, a young woman (Marie Wyler) finds a random piece of jigsaw puzzle in her home – followed by other pieces scattered around her home. The completion of it seems to portend her fate in this superbly constructed short from director Vincenzo Aiello and writer Damien Mazza. Fabien Guerra’s original score builds to ever more alarming levels as anticipation builds for the final puzzle piece to be put in place. There’s no dialogue, but Wyler’s expressive, reactive performance holds it together superbly. There are no explanations or extraneous moments / characters, so it’s all about good old-fashioned dread as the nerve-wracking build up pays off with a splendidly unnerving last shot.
