Yorgos Lanthimos's movies love to flirt 'often comically' with horror: the fear that behind the façade of society is a gaping maw of existential terror. In this dastardly short, a shrewdly cast Matt Dillon realizes that no role in life is irreplaceable. Suddenly, nothing is safe not even ourselves. — yusufpiskin.

Aug 9, 2019 · A cellist has a mind-bending encounter on the New York subway in Nimic, a brief riff on the theme of The Double from Greek maestro Yorgos Lanthimos. Baffling and inviting in equal measure, it will delight die-hard Lanthimostans while easily alienating fans of conventional three-act structures.

Nimic is a short about a cellist, whose life turned upside down after asking a stranger on the subway. Despite its 12-min runtime, the short managed to emit terror and confusion, as it tackles the topics of existential dread, insecurity, and societal pressures.

Father, the film's blank protagonist (tricky ground here), meets a woman on a subway, only to find himself followed, 'Mimicked,' and the absurdity of this, like in many of Lanthimos' films, is accepted by his family. So perhaps too should the viewer when watching Nimic.
Yorgos Lanthimos’s Nimic is a deliciously sinister and utterly captivating short about the fungibility of identity and how easy it is to lose yourself when you let yourself be defined by others people without truly connecting.
