Jane Levy deserves to be in everything. Lovely short, Oscar. Also fun fact, Jane Levy and Thomas McDonell are an actual couple in real life.

[@walterlol]

Short Oscar, lovely!

[@kiribundi]

She totally deserved that Oscar

[@deannahenry8925]

Yeah

[@ayman6930164]

OSCAR YOU DESERVE OSCAR

Ayman Dots 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@Statistiqs]

The amount of storytelling in 6 minutes 30 seconds is insane.

[@KentHeckel]

LOVED this Oscar!

[@gyustice665]

This was brilliant. Deep look inside the dynamics of a modern romantic relationship. Trying to "keep up" with your spouse only causes you to make a fool of yourself, while your spouse often leaves you behind on their own journey to the top.

[@CallieMasters5000]

She seems the type that would have an Italian boyfriend, not an American, unless she just wants to boss him around.

[@Lazlo.]

She seems far too forward and feministic. The type of woman to try and dominate every man she dates

[@georgesghoussoub9480]

@FireWork also you noticed, when she turned around and didn't see him behind her, her face went troubled and she almost was afraid. i guess that she feels that all people knowing her is nothing compared with someone who wants to be with her. on the other side of the coin, he feels like being ignored and left behind (although she didn't do it on purpose, she thought he was behind her), when the other guy took off her tie, she gave him acknowledgement that he was right, so he felt as catching up with her and went and opened the door for her.

[@Michael_Lederman]

There is so much subtle comedy and slapstick comedy combined to make this a wonderful full-length feature.

[@khaledjaafar]

How wonderful that this is available for free 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😍😍😍

[@xRegretNoMorex]

creative, well shot, and a story that ends where it begins, with the main characters having transformed and realized something. bravo, bravo

[@ThatXavier]

It's very quirky, similar to Wes Anderson. Amazing work Oscar!

[@TheCookiemonster0430]

Youre amazing oscar!

[@imme313]

I was about to say the same thing

[@redhotsweetpotatoe]

Oh my goodness, I loved, loved loved this. I wish you could do a series with this couple. So fun and clever.

[@Zoroasto1]

[@caseyaskew4389]

[@creationstudio8150]

Jane levy fan . Thanks so much

[@mrmachinery1]

That entrance into frame by the canal is one the funniest things I've ever seen, absolutely nailed it Oscar!

[@nellennatea]

That was brilliant and so made me laugh especially when he he jumped in the water instead of the boat. Thought it might happen but was so funny. Thank you for lovely film.

[@20EUR20]

That's the second time I watch this video. I love it.

[@GriffinHarrington]

Big smile on my face Oscar. Bravo

[@IfrslbI]

Amazing as always, Oscar!

[@quijadahuguito]

Oscar... this is truly a home run, Bravisimo!

[@andreystarostin]

I love seeing professional work that looks like everyone had fun making it.

[@lindsaywanserski100]

That was really intriguing - I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next and who is this Lola. Whoever she is he better hurry up or she’s gone! 👍🏼 Good Job Oscar

[@willcrawford7896]

This was fabulous!

[@tnyxvr]

[@akiraoettinger]

[@AdrienCasanova]

Awesome!! KZbin needs more of that!

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

What a great twist! Love it

[@AbbeyHowe]

This is beautiful, funny, and sweet.

[@MingusLifecast]

Beautifully made Oscar! Your way to represent Italy is so romantic. I love my country and you make it look beautiful. You remind me of the great italian cinematographers. Thank you

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

#LoveLoveLove Ciao Lola beautiful cinematography.

[@SimranSingh-us5xe]

This film was an absolute delight! A lot of fun and beautifully made.

[@asabgameface]

Great opening scene! Love it!!!

[@fede_cusi]

Bravissimo Oscar! Veramente bello. Beautifully made! Really beautiful short little story😱👍

[@GustavoCruz]

This is amazing!!!

[@blainestokes4468]

This is brilliant, Oscar! Our lives get so tangled up and we forget the “Big Rocks” (the most important) and just focus on the gravel (thing that happen no matter what but aren’t that important). You can’t dump these “Big Rocks” in a bucket full of gravel and expect everything to fit. You need to put the Big Rocks in the bucket first and let the trickle around them. Now everything fits in the bucket, especially the most important piece... the Big Rocks.

[@robbuglass6199]

Loved loved loved that Oscar .

[@benlawrence309]

This is one of the most underrated channels on KZbin, I mean how does this video only have 37K views. It's astonishing.

[@waffles05]

Definitely need more of this!!

[@palomabrighton9756]

Lola's self-distraction and Peter's distance kept my eyes peeled. Ample conflict. #Hooked

[@_alex_fleming_8580]
