Fiasco

About This Movie

Fiasco (1987) is an intriguing piece of animation that carries an unusual weight—its core theme deals with slander and its insidious impact on mental health. The tone is somewhat surreal, blending dark humor with a somber atmosphere. It has this unique pacing that keeps you engaged, almost like you're torn between laughing and feeling uneasy. The animation style isn’t conventional; it has a raw, almost experimental quality that draws you in. Performances are conveyed through the animated characters rather than voice, which adds another layer of complexity. What stands out is how it tackles such a heavy subject with a sort of cartoonish absurdity, making it a distinctive entry in the realm of animated films.
