Girl on the Wall: sweet little romantic comedy

Greek directory/designer Gabriel Psaltakis's short film "The Girl on the Wall" is a charming and silly little romance about graffiti, fashion, and ennui.

THE GIRL ON THE WALL (Thanks, Gabriel!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Great :) The first time around, I didn’t twig that it was in Greek for some reason: my Greek’s so rusty, I was just reading the subtitles.

But listening to it with a Greeker head on, even though I could only get every Nth word, I felt the subtitles weren’t doing the writing and characters justice. Like, the long “blah blah” bit actually has them going “Ah, women, eh?” and so on: you learn the kind of guy-stuff they are talking about.

The fact that it stands up so well even with the mediocre subtitling is very cool.

Think I now want to hunt down more Greek subbed stuff, to drag my Greek out of complete rustiness.

Quirky and adorable! I enjoyed this a lot.

That’s really well done technically too! I didn’t realize that live action simultaneous with animation had made it into the small-filmmaker budget zone already! And the credits are impressive too.

P.S. Adorable.
