Pies

About This Movie

So, 'Pies' from 1983—it's this quirky animation that dives into the murky waters of prejudice in a pretty unique way. The story revolves around two women, Mrs. Cherwak and Mrs. Meuser, who are from different backgrounds and clash over a cow and its, well, less-than-pleasant contributions. The animation style is quite striking; there's a certain rawness to it that matches the tension of their conflict. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which kind of adds to the overall vibe, making you feel a bit uncomfortable—perfect for the themes it explores. It's definitely not your standard animated fare, and the practical effects give it a tactile quality that’s just hard to shake off. Not for everyone, but definitely notable in its approach.
