In this case, the main character is Fran (Daisy Ridley), who has barely spoken however within the first minutes of the film. There are no dialogues throughout the first 22 minutes. The statement that follows is surprising in its simplicity: “I’m Fran. I’m very fond of eating cottage cheese.” One might question why she makes that claim. This is because all of her colleagues in the office are telling the people their favourite food. However, we have already witnessed her eating such a dish which consisted of cottage cheese. She continues to remain enigmatic throughout the movie and even after this. However, one should put a caveat that every once in a while, it is nice when the film does not adhere to the convention where all’s explanation is a prerequisite. Once, Billy Wilder worked out a set of advices for screenplay writers, including one of: “Do you know who also offered great advice? [Ernst] Lubitsch: “The audience should add two and two, and then four. They’ll love you foreso all stars”’. This exemplifies how Sometimes I Think About Dying directed by Rachel Lambert works and more often than not works well.

Fran resides in a modest town in the Pacific Northwest; she is employed in a one-room office filled with spreadsheets and mild chatter from others around her; as far as her position goes, Fran is rather meek among the crowd of people that are working shoulder to shoulder all the time (the decisiveness really helps first a job, and then even excitement when someone brings donuts for everyone). But every night, after having poured a glass of wine, and feasting on some cottage cheese, followed by some Sudoku puzzles before going to bed, the details of her life do not alter until the time she tumbles out of bed in recent times — an activity that would otherwise motivate the reaper. She envisions death in all forms: isolated on a desolate beach, being overrun by insects while prostrate, or even suspended mid-air from a crane — the one silver lining is that these distressing notions do not manifest themselves in solo acts of self-harm. Nor is she strikingly sanguine either; indeed everyone is pleading us to illustrate the reason why.

Finally, in this tragicovetical fugue of hers walks in a new recruit Robert (Dave Merheje) who is nice and sociable. He doesn’t shun her like all other people do, since he is new, he does not have an opinion about her beforehand. They watch a movie together. Next, tarts and cheeses. They attend the party where people slay the evening playing mystery stories. Listening to Frances and speaking out, abuses for the first time in the course composing her life. She is extremely mundane; for example, she never grasps a punch line or something that is subtle but he finds it captivating. Robert also has a preference for her. Now in her fantasies about the death of Fran Roberts begins to appear humorous episode of Roberts; from this point on anything could happen.

Its a rather funny explanation but this is the reason why “Sometimes I Think About Dying” is not bas Sober, reasonable Cuz of Lambert’s dreamy, somewhat surreal approach . These shots are not simply used as transitions or second unit material, instead, they are pitched into the content of the main story- in some instances appearing during the dichas of the TECs that seem to come from Fran’s disassociated state.’ Organization of this type of facilities or accessory so to speak plays a very significant role in how the character Fran behaves. The same can be said regarding river shots which bring again blue colored somewhat idealistic landscape. The same goes for overexposed America’s modern suburbs. Or Sandra’s house. One may get the impression that its interior decoration is rather vintage style, particularly china cabinets and fsloral-patterned armchairs! Could it be that Faustina’s grandmother decorated her house? We’ll probably never find out.

Fran is a character who Ridley has skilfully managed to avoid its pitfalls. Fran may not be chatty, but she’s not shy also. I might add also, Ridley never makes Fran’s character too eccentric.

What is impressive about her is that she leaves a fantastic impression of being a person in her own world yearning for attention. As if one has to pry the words out of Fran through exasperation, forced into a moment away with her thoughts. Ridley has no clich? for Awkward Lonely Girl when it comes to Fran. But she is also a mystery. At the same time, Robert Merheje in the role of Robert is wonderful. In addition, Robert appears as an ordinary person who knows how to speak with people and knows how to time and feel relaxed in a crowd.

Sometimes I Think About Dying, a short story book by Merheje, makes Fran quiet most of the times, and for the frst time in the entire making of the film, visiting this lady who has been mute for the most part was somewhat pleasing, fascinatingly tense, rewards us with trouble-taking storytellers who complete the picture. It has in 2015 become a Spanish project. A term used to describe a transition between two stages of a process which has already commenced is a bridge. The film does try to achieve a turn later on, but there is not enough information provided which is needed to achieve that; so we cannot cross the river.

This may have something do with how it was conceived and how it remains unfinished. Keith Horowitz co-wrote —> Merheje’s short, which he co-wrote with Katy Wright-Mead and Kevin Armento, after winning the Sundance award for a short film his made which was presented there, directed by Keith and award winning for Jury Award: Non – Fiction, where they both served on competitions documentatires! At that time, Killers, a play by Kevin Armento, was a source of inspiration for the film together with its title and most elements that puzzled orders by Keith Horowitz.

This feeling of being left hanging can probably be traced back to its source. “Sometimes I Think About Dying” is a feature-length development of Horowitz’s ten-minute clip Horowitz, in her turn, received a number of awards for in 2019 and is co-written by Stefanie Abel Horowitz, Kevin Armento, and Katy Wright-Mead. On the other hand, he had turned into a play with a woman who frequently envisioned death, one of its two independent but interrelated plots in 2013. As a result, the film’s relativity is restricted to that of death-wish, with no room for other themes. This might also account for why it is incomplete, because at the end, it is not synergetic.
