Acedia Trailers

Fragments of a daily routine – sleep, coffee, food, pills and shots of the inhospitable view from the window – are listed in the dictionary entry explaining the term “acedia”, a spiritual apathy manifested by a paralyzing indifference to oneself and one's surroundings. In this stop-motion animation, it takes the form of a blinking cursor on a blank computer screen, layers of reality that are peeling back, and a dying houseplant.

Reviews
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
