When Perspective first takes you into its world, you might find yourself entering a realm marked by a film noir quality, one where suspense and thrill lurk within. As it progresses, however, the film reveals itself to be a love letter written to cinema. It is a romance with visual storytelling, and the many ways in which the protagonist interacts with it.

After a brief introduction to what is portrayed as a spy-like character, perhaps concealing some dark secrets of his own, we are next met with a film aficionado who takes great pleasure in losing himself to the world of visual narratives. Whether he is creating one, or consuming it, his devotion to it remains unwavering.

The film endeavors to tie these elements together, while staying true to the premise it has invoked so far. The attempt is a dedicated and sincere one, leaving the door open for more storytelling and experimentation by the team with the various tools of cinema.
