Parataxis

About This Movie

Parataxis is this intriguing piece from 1980, a unique blend of animation that dives deep into the psyche. The film feels like a dream you can’t quite recall, fragmented memories playing out in a disjointed rhythm. It’s not just about the visuals; it’s the atmosphere that pulls you in—almost haunting. The way it dissects the idea of storytelling and personal narrative is pretty compelling. It's like you're left questioning your own reality as you watch. Practical effects, while limited, lend a raw quality that complements its themes. The pacing can feel offbeat, but it enhances the overall disorienting experience. Quite the conversation starter among collectors, I’d say.
