Review of Vartan LLP

Vartan LLP (2007)
6/10
Friendship and business don't always mix
2 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Barry Green and Sidney Taylor have been friends for a long time (since their 20's?). They created their own successful investment company, Vartan LLP. When Sidney decides to sell out , Barry is against. The friendship tanks. They are barely on speaking terms. Sidney has prevailed and Barry is effectively gone.

One day Sidney receives a call from a journalist that wants to write an obituary about Barry. He died the night before of pancreatic cancer.

The film alternates the main thread with flashbacks that are not in chronological order.

The idea is good, but I found the narrative structure haphazard and its execution poor. The short is salvaged by good acting.
