Dir. Vincent Bal / Belgium / 1996
The classic Christmas short film noir with inevitable twists and turns. Mylene and Werner are going to make their flat up for Christmas. Then Sam comes with a bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Sam tells Werner that he knows Werner has stolen money at work. Werner murders Sam. Soon afterwards, Sam is alive again and it looks as if somebody else would have to die. Who's fooling who? Winner of the Grand Prix at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.

I can see why people are comparing this with Inception. Chris Nolan is widely known to be a big fan of classic Film Noir and this is shown in a variety of his films, Following, Memento and also Inception - this genre of film is often referred to as Neo-noir because it uses elements of Film Noir; such as plot twists and the anti hero but with updated themes. The short film here however, is both a homage and a parody to Film Noir, exaggerating some of the Film Noir elements for comic effect.
