14th on the list at http://listverse.com/2008/09/06/15-great-short-films/ is Australian film 'Black Button'
This film won the Melbourne film festival. Now don't take me as unpatriotic... I hated it.
Well I shouldn't say hate, I disliked it. It was very straight forward, and predictable. I thought the dialogue was clever, and the setting suitable, I guess I just didn't enjoy the story line.
I understand that it was meant to be though provoking and show the greediness of man, and how moral values have changed. But I just knew where it was going, and what the moral was from a minute in.
I look forward to seeing what other Aussie films make it into the count down, if any.
