Lebenshunger

About This Movie

Lebenshunger is a curious little piece from '93, blending animation with a unique narrative that explores longing and discontent. The story, if you can call it that, revolves around sheep—yes, sheep—contemplating greener pastures. It’s got this oddly contemplative tone, almost meditative, even though it’s animated. There’s a certain charm to the character designs and the way they animate these woolly creatures. The pacing feels slow, but it kind of works, letting you sit with the characters and their existential musings. It’s not flashy, more about mood than spectacle. If you appreciate the quirks of animation that delve into deeper themes, this one has a certain distinctive quality that lingers.
