Just when you think you have got One Life Stand worked out, it twists and turns its way yet again to leave you wondering where you stand on sexual mores and social conventions. May Miles Thomas' DV feature is an engaging, claustrophobic one, with a memorable performance from Maureen Carr.
Starkly shot in black and white digital video, the anonymous Glasgow locations take on a more grim hue through the desperately unhappy characters who populate it. Winner of several BAFTA New Talent awards, One Life Stand is an impressive debut, with an Oedipal dynamic that gets right under the skin.
