"X2000" is a French 8-minute live action short film from 1998, so this one will already be 20 years old next year. It was written and directed by François Ozon and he was around the age of 30 back then and already a pretty prolific filmmaker at that point, yet of course not as well-known as he is today. Anyway, I must say this little movie we have here does not really feature any actors I have heard of before I think, but maybe French audiences have. In any case, the language here is so minimal in terms of the few words French spoken in here that you can probably even watch it without subtitles. It is the story of a man who wakes up in the morning and looking at what and who he finds in the apartment it must have been a pretty wild party the night before. But from a cinematic and artistic perspective I cannot say this film was a success or even great watch. It is bearable for its runtime, but really forgettable compared to some of the more recent stuff Ozon has done. I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended unless you are a huge Ozon fan and try to see all his stuff.
