[THE INCIDENT
recently screened at the 39th Cleveland International Film Festival.]
Review
by Bob Ignizio
Two
brothers are busted by police officer in their apartment. While
trying to flee through the apartment building’s stairway, one of
the brothers is shot in the leg. After a tourniquet is tied around
the wound, the officer tries to escort the two out of the building
and down to the police station. Only problem is, none of the doors
out of the stairwell can be opened and the elevator doesn't work.
More alarming, the stairwell itself seems to be some kind of mobius
strip: descend all the way to the first floor and it keeps going, but
loops back to the top floor. Fortunately there's a perpetually full
vending machine of snacks and water for sustenance, but that won't
help the wounded brother if he doesn't get to a hospital soon.
