Ooooh, that would have pissed me off, to get 40% of a file only shared by ghost, just to have him delete it! Don't you look at what files people are getting from you before you delete one? Or maybe you constantly have dozens or even hundreds actively downloading, so it is too many to monitor! Luckily, there were some other people who had it and were sharing it. I just assumed I was not getting it from you anymore because you went offline for awhile, or had too many people in your queue. And even if I objected to getting larger files (which I do not), the new improved version which is now available is not a large file either.

I "blame" popdrome, for recommending it to pillowbaker. That made me look into it at FLM and likely inspired you to upgrade it. You troublemaker, popdrome! :lol:

That's great ghost! I tried upscaling it a few months ago but I had a few problems with the result..

Hey Night! :bigups :eusa_whistle

Thanks for the the movie in HD, ghost! This came recommended by popdrome as being something a bit more bizarre. I can't wait to see what it's about! I've avoided plot descriptions and screenshots, gonna go in blind!

No I said it's weird! I'm curious what you think of it, it's quite nihilistic. ;)

I have to admit you were right about Stefanies Geschenk! Though I did enjoy it, it was quite bleak. I am very impressed with about of little details they managed to place into the film's 1-hour length! Considering the slow pace, that was quite a feat. To use a bleak term, the film seems full of symbolism, and a fair bit of the film I didn't quite understand. This is strange for me, given that this film wasn't overall difficult to watch.
Spoiler:

The horrifically loud sink the floor below, the two suits who try to compel her to do something, her curiosity about people in the park. The guy who apparently shot someone in their building. The long shots of her walking, licking or chewing. Her interactions with her seemingly disjoined reflection.
At first I couldn't tell if the baby was supposed to be real or not. I wonder if this baby subplot is related to her idea of not wanting to grow up into a woman. The pacifier and the bottle. Sometimes I couldn't tell if some things that occurred in the flat downstairs was imaginary. Near the end, I was thinking that she finally went to school. HA! She sure showed me! The giant, exquisitely wrapped present addressed to her father on his birthday was so sad!
All in all, it seemed like a film condensed with much abstraction and indirect representation of meaning. The heavy focus on the Stefanie was great (maybe I enjoyed her moments with the baby bottle more than I should have). Overall, it was a challenging movie for me and that's likely the way it's intended, but I wasn't able to connect with her character very well. Once again, I imagine one is not supposed to love her!

Thanks again popdrome, I'll be on the lookout for more recommendations!

That's exactly how I felt about it! You've put that well into words (are you british by any chance?) - I've couldn't said it better. About the character, I was inclined to like her, also I felt a little sorry for her parents, both of which sentiments derailed.. Gotta give credits to the maker(s) of this little film though; it might itch, but it's an itch you'll remember. :D

Definitely somewhere between an itch and a tummyache. :D

Glad my interpretation was understandable. I am appreciative you weren't expecting more than my basic comprehension. Not British, but shhhh don't tell anyone! I'm the second or third next best thing, from the US. ;) Gratified with your guess though; it takes me a long time to type out responses and brits are often so well worded!

Also I'm glad you were tending to like her more. She definitely was a smart enough girl, in some ways more outgoing in the things she was willing to do to avoid progressing, which now makes me wonder why she was motivated to do so. I saw her as capable but definitely a difficult girl. I can see why one would like her more for being this troublesome!
