Lunch Links: CAKE

Posted By Julius Kassendorf on October 11, 2018 in Short Articles | 97 Responses

At the end of a relationship, after all the water and food has run out and there’s nothing left to keep you moving, somebody has to pull the trigger. Somebody has to say, “I want out.” Pulling the trigger can be hard. Sometimes you play games trying to make the other person pull the trigger. But, eventually, it has to end.

Doesn’t it?

Alan Friel’s Cake explores cultural differences between two lesbians set against a post-apocalyptic nowhere. They’re at the end of the line, and somebody has to do something for either of them to survive. It comes down to the last slice of cake and whether you’re entitled to it or not. Of course, whether you feel entitled to that last slice of cake may have to do with societal programming.

About the Author

Julius Kassendorf

Julius Kassendorf is the founder of The-Solute, and previously founded The Other FIlms and Project Runaways in 2013. There, he dabbled in form within reviews to better textualize thought processes about the medium of film.

Previously, he has blogged at other, now-defunct, websites that you probably haven’t heard of, and had a boyfriend in Canada for many years. Julius resides in Seattle, where he enjoys the full life of the Seattle Film Community.

Julius’ commanding rule about film: Don’t Be Common. He believes the worst thing in the world is for a film to be like every other film, with a secondary crime of being a film with little to no ambition.
