About
"It was the beginning of the end of the world..." Tim Balme (The Almighty Johnsons) narrates this moody tale of being trapped in a world where all the women have disappeared. Balme's character duels with a beautiful woman who ain't interested (played by Balme's real-life partner Katie Wolfe), and finds desire playing tricks with his mind. Writer/director Andrew Bancroft evokes the film noir stylings of 1940s and 50s movies with his shadowy, rain-lashed imagery, hard-nosed characters and their innuendo. Planet Man was named Best Short Film in the Critics' Week section of the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
