Reviews
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
mightyquinninwky If you love the later work of Matisse, like the work in the book "Jazz", you will love this wonderful and colourful short animated feature. This is McDermott's first film, he was only nineteen when he made it! It is a very complex animated short containing over 2000 animated cells in six minutes of film. He used a combination of silk screening and traditional painting techniques in producing this beautiful folk style animation. McDermott only made five animated shorts all under twelve minutes in length, and retired from animation at the age of 32 to pursue a career in children's literature. Do yourself a favour and give six minutes over to this short, you won't regret it!!! It is full of wonderful cut out colours and a great flow to the work as a whole. Very enjoyable indeed. Sad it seems to have been forgotten... as many greats works do in this day and age......
