Accidental Luxuriance of the Translucent Watery Rebus
An experimental animation film. As always, experimental means it was made to look like something that was created 40 to 80 years ago. I don't understand where this fascination with the past comes from, but it seems clear that people looking to push the boundaries of visual media aren't working in the film business. The animation is varied and there are some interesting scenes, especially when the music is more prominent, but it's not enough to make this a good film. The quality of the animation is disappointing (too many collages and filters), the dialogue is too deliberately artistic, and the balance between the narrative and the abstract moments is off. It's not a complete failure, but I was still quite happy to reach the end credits.Read all
