So, 'Pleasures of War' is this curious little gem from 1998, blending animation and drama in a way that’s both striking and unsettling. The retelling of Judith and Holofernes, you know, it dives deep into themes of female aggression and the rather uncomfortable ties between war and sexual desire. The animation itself has a raw, almost gritty feel that enhances its serious tone. The pacing shifts, often slow yet deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the weight of the narrative. It may not be a well-known piece, but there’s something distinctively haunting about its atmosphere and the way it tackles these heavy themes. Definitely a unique exploration of its subjects, if you can appreciate that kind of storytelling.
