5/5
An experimental drama that delves into gender and race.
The 12-minute film opens in a twin hotel room, where we are introduced to Myster and Missus. Myster (Devin Finn) wears a delicate leafy green dress (in stark contrast to his male characteristics) and Missus (Tricky Jones) wears a loosely fitted suit and tie – despite her own feminine attributions. The pair sit in discussion about terminology and definitions as well reflecting on their past affairs, religion and philosophy. The narrative takes a shift towards the end as the reality of their situation is put into question. The audience will certainly be rewarded with gripping viewing, beguiling characterization and likely to be left with an after-thought.
