One Self: Fish/Girl

About This Movie

One Self: Fish/Girl is a fascinating piece of animation that dives deep into the psyche of a young woman grappling with her self-image and the chaos of the outside world. The film's diary-like structure gives it this raw, intimate tone, making you feel like you're peering into someone's private thoughts. The animation is unique; there's a certain experimental quality that keeps you on your toes, with visuals that evoke a dreamlike atmosphere. Pacing is a bit unconventional, reflecting the ebb and flow of emotion rather than a straightforward narrative. The themes of self-doubt and the quest for identity resonate strongly, and it’s those layered, poetic moments that really stand out. It’s a more introspective watch than what you might expect from typical animation.
