Rhinoceros Eyes (US, 2005)

Director Aaron Woodley tells the story of a very introspective character, Chap, who works at a prop store. One day, a client comes and asks for Rhinoceros eyes for one of her movies. He gets (steals) them for her (of course they are props, not real ones!) but our friend Chap has a very vivid imagination, and he sees strange characters made out of props who talk to him throughout the film. A detective soon shows up. He is investigating the robbery of the props that Chad has stolen to satisfy his client. The story is quite preposterous, but the interesting thing to see how Chad’s imagination takes part in the plot. The movie won an award at the last Toronto Film Festival.
