Mazes

About This Movie

Mazes (2008) is this intriguing short by István Orosz, really dives into some deep themes—spirituality, psychology, and even touches on the philosophical side of existence. The animation has this distinct, almost surreal quality that keeps you engaged. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the ideas presented, almost like a meditative experience. The visuals are striking, and there’s a certain rawness to the practical effects that adds to its charm. It’s not your typical animated fare; it feels more like a visual essay on existence itself, inviting multiple views. Orosz's unique approach creates a layered atmosphere that lingers long after it's over. Definitely a piece that provokes thought.
