A Puff Before Dying

About This Movie

So, A Puff Before Dying is this quirky little animation that dives into the chaos of a wild night gone wrong. The whole thing is wrapped in this offbeat humor, which is pretty consistent throughout. It's interesting how they use marionettes for the characters – gives it this strange vibe that contrasts with the heavy themes of drug use and the consequences that ensue. The pacing? A bit erratic, mirroring the high-energy chaos of the plot. The practical effects are a delightful touch, really adding to the handcrafted feel of the film. It’s not your typical animated fare, for sure. Definitely one of those films that sticks with you because of its unique approach to serious subjects wrapped up in a comedic shell.
