I don’t know how two new short films of Tossapol will be like. Having seen many of his films, I can say that Tossapol is one of my most favorite directors of all time. Many of his films have lonely atmosphere, especially his feature AFTERNOON TIMES, which have intensely lonely atmosphere. So on this occasion I think I would like to make a list of my favorite films which have lonely atmosphere.
