When playing Brendon Chung's short game Thirty Flights of
Loving I can't help but be reminded of the sporadic energy which seemed to
enthuse the early films of Jean-Luc Godard. A florescent mixture of ideas,
influences and oblique storytelling propels this short into a dream-like
state which crosses in an out of playful parody, postmodernist tangles and
artful themes of memory, love and loss. In equal measures it plays out as a
heist, a love story and a dream. Yet at its heart Thirty Flights of Loving remains
a fun and inventive piece of interactive fiction.
