Golden Time

About This Movie

Golden Time is this intriguing blend of animation and drama set in Japan during the eighties. It tells the story of an old TV set, tossed aside and left for dead in a junkyard. What’s fascinating is how it personifies this struggle against obsolescence, reflecting a deep-seated fear of being forgotten. The atmosphere has this nostalgic yet melancholic tone, enhanced by the visuals that evoke that retro aesthetic. The pacing feels a bit introspective, allowing viewers to linger in those moments of despair and hope. Practical effects add a unique touch, lending a tactile quality to the narrative. Not many films explore themes of existence and purpose through such an unconventional lens—it's distinctive in that regard for sure.
