Lighten Up / USA / 2005

Another short, this time from the US. Moustachioed trailer- type Bo is driving his buddy to the hospital, for mysterious reasons. It eventually transpires that the friend has suffered complications after sticking a lightbulb up his backside, a fetish that, he insists, has changed his life for the better and allowed him to become the man he always wanted to be. The film is little more than an extended comedy skit, but it’s sharply observed and really, really funny. The characters are acutely sketched and immediately recognisable. After a series of rather dour efforts, Lighten Up brought the house down.
