Spider (2007)
Overview
Spider is a 2007 Australian short film directed by Nash Edgerton, running just nine minutes. A man tries to patch things up with his girlfriend after a fight, and things escalate in darkly comic fashion. The Neutral label fits because the film carries almost no cultural or political freight. It is a tight, self-contained dark comedy about bad luck and worse impulses, without commentary on family structures, gender roles, religion, or social ideology. The conflict is personal and absurd rather than ideological. With a small cast, minimal runtime, and no agenda beyond its own punchline, there is simply nothing here that pulls the needle in any direction.
