What the Critics are Saying:
"A star is
born! Oliver van Druten, the diminutive lead of "You Can
Stay, But That Noise Has To Go," is one of the freshest new
faces to
hit the computer screen this year. In this brief but completely
realized mini-drama, he not only acts up a storm, but plays all
his own
drum parts. The Kino-Eye is completely captured -- might I even
say
enraptured -- by his insouciant posing and devilish good looks.
The consistently innovative camerawork by director Kirk van Druten
(Oliver's Dad) tantalizes the viewer with glimpses of Oliver through
the drum kit, even through a drum head, underscoring his complete
mastery of the instrument. The video is cut to a throbbing soundtrack
which steadily builds the tension, culminating in a final powerful
freeze-frame of the young maestro. If you see one video this year,
be
sure to make this it!"
