RKS 2024 Film: “Velma”: An Elusive Attempt to Find that Special Man: “Moon River” Meets Ted Bundy

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted infilmTags:, , , , ,

Shot in a rich 1960’s motive (with a touch of Fellini) including food, dress and music Velma (Scarlet Moreno) searches for that “special man” but Velma is locked into a pattern of feeding then bedding a man regretting her unsuccessful endeavours of willing if not compulsive behavior. It is not regretting or being ashamed of her sexuality but of its failure to progress past the carnal into the canal of true love.

And finally the perfect man, yet again, is not the perfect man. So unfortunately just another notch on the broom for Velma and even greater regret of the perfect man who was not perfect.

Back to the routine Velma goes in her search for the perfect man leaving an unsavoury wake.

A role reversal of Norman Bates and Marion Crane.

This American short will be released on VOD on 26March2024.

RKS 2024 Film Rating 93/100.
