One of my all time favorites.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This French animated short stars a baribusa--a strange poly-tusked cousin of the pig. This baribusa lives on an island not much bigger than the animal and soon you see lots of weird stuff. The island becoming a boat and all the other things that occur in the film are indeed odd and hard to describe--believe me.I think the score of 4.8 is a bit too low for this cute animated short. Sure, the animation quality is not great and consists of very simple black and white line drawings with no shading or color--plus they didn't bother to erase the pencil marks, but considering that it is funny and quite watchable it should be rated a bit higher. I think that in addition to the artwork putting off some, the bizarre and often surreal narrative of the short also causes some to dislike it. My suggestion is that you watch it and don't think too much--just accept it for what it is--very cute and clever.
