Brilliance

About This Movie

So, Brilliance is this quirky animated flick from 1986, set in a far-off future—3000, to be exact. The animation style is a bit rough around the edges, it has that hand-drawn charm that you don’t see much anymore. The pacing is a mixed bag; sometimes it drags, but there’s this offbeat humor that keeps you engaged. The central theme revolves around the mundane question of what's for dinner, which sounds simple, but it really plays into deeper ideas about choices and societal norms in a futuristic context. The performances—while animated—manage to convey a surprising amount of emotion. It’s distinctive for how it juxtaposes the everyday with the absurd, offering a satirical lens on future living. Definitely one of those under-the-radar gems that sparks interesting conversations.
