the more i think about it, the more i enjoy it (not the cake, the trailer).
the addition of the car noise is a good idea, the car itself suggestion of going somewhere - where? - traffic jam - everyone wants to be a musician these days - not enough roads - run out of fuel etc etc. great choice.
i just watched it again and i was thinking to myself the parts where they throw propper wobblers (i think its two men in different parts; they start flailing their arms) should have been the climax to it - but then i think again - no - because it was frustrating to see them at random points and not as the climax. well thought out of you.
the only thing that i would suggest is that smiling woman. i think it'll work better if it is juxtaposed to her doing the opposite. but then that would be predictable. while now its frustrating. dilemma. some kind of thread between these images would be good. say a prop - like a note or something. i would be able to go into depth, but i don't know what happens. but to raise that trailer above the usual unsettling Western/European dream-dramas i suggest some thread weaved between the images, perhaps a quote said at the beginning about dreams said by one of the characters. then we see the consequences. then, at the end, when they throw wobblers - it is said again.
or perhaps even something about the title
ie, husky young voice 'the stranger in the night, just sometimes happens to be you'
or something to that effect. said at beginning and end, by the end we know that its a troubling piece.
i don't know the details of your production so i couldn't possibly comment but i hope this helps.
the cheesecake - oh god, i hate all you can eats. i never know my limits. thats why i aksed if it was about failed dreams - i hate that stuff. if i didn't have such silly ambitions than i would be a perfectly happy guy. instead of constantly trying to eat more cheesecake...and more and more....
