The Palme d'Or nominated "Truth in Advertising" is a Canadian 12-minute short film from 2001, so this one has its 15th anniversary this year and it is still one of the more known works by writer and director Tim Hamilton. Hamilton is today mostly known for the semi-famous and semi-successful "Mama's Boy" starring Jon Heder. But back to this one here. During its entirety we hear people who work in the advertising industry talk to each other. But they are not talking the way they usually do. Instead of using phrases and being politically correct, they dish it out with one obscenity after the other and they tell everybody what they really think of each other. Yes it is pretty much the same for over 10 minutes, but I still found it fairly entertaining and this was not only a funny movie, it was also a brutally honest one because I am sure what we heard here is what goes through the minds of people in real life, even if they aren't saying it. Good job from the writers, I recommend the watch.
