A love story from the world of gears and bolts. Inspired by Lotte Reiniger works and Antony Lucas’s Jasper Morello film.
Apart from the music, this is basically a one-man job by Russian Andrey Shushkov; and what a beautifully made job it turned out to be! With an art style that feels truly different without really breaking any new ground, reminding me slightly of the graphics from the PSP game Patapon at times, this near-silent movie is an unspoken gem. The final scene especially uses it’s art style in an extremely clever way too, whilst other moments left me pausing just to take in how gorgeous it looked.
