Life with an Idiot

About This Movie

Life with an Idiot is a quirky animation that dives deep into the absurdity of existence. The narrative follows 'I', who finds himself shackled to Vova, a character from a lunatic asylum who can only utter the word 'Ech.' The film's tone swings between dark humor and surreal moments, capturing the struggle of living with someone who embodies a different sort of logic. The pacing has an almost dreamlike rhythm, with scenes that feel both disjointed and profoundly connected. It’s not just about the visuals, though the animation style is distinct with its bold colors and exaggerated forms. The performances, despite Vova's limited dialogue, convey a lot through expressions and body language, making it an interesting examination of companionship and the human condition.
