Anamorphosis

About This Movie

Anamorphosis is a fascinating dive into the art of visual distortion, crafted by the Quay brothers. They paint not just with colors but with ideas, exploring anamorphosis—an old technique that plays tricks on the eye. The film combines animation and documentary elements, creating this eerie yet inviting atmosphere. You get a sense of the meticulous craftsmanship behind each frame, where the shadows seem to whisper secrets. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to linger on each illusion, each thought. It's not just about what you see; it challenges you to reconsider perception itself. The practical effects are stunning, adding a tangible quality that enhances the surrealistic experience. Definitely a unique piece in the realm of animated film, it’s like peering through a kaleidoscope of thought and perception.
