Sigbjørn Bratlie & Askild Vik Edvardsen (NO): Box. No. ”Elvis is dead”
09:50, 2009

Box. No. ”Elvis is dead” is a short film in shape of a personal ad. The film uses the language, the set phrases and the clichés of lonely hearts´ columns in newspapers or the Internet: A young man looking for a girlfriend or a wife describes himself and his everyday life. However, as the main character elaborates on his story in a way he believes will make him look attractive in the eyes of his wife-to-be, he gradually finds himself more and more trapped and entangled in the clichéd language he has to resort to. His story becomes more and more like fiction – full of ruthless lies, deceit, boisterous bragging and South American love serenades.
