Prelude

About This Movie

Prelude is this intriguing piece from Eric Leiser, the first of its kind in stop motion puppet animation. The film feels like a visual poem, exploring some heavy themes based on a biblical verse. The tone is contemplative, inviting you to reflect rather than rush through. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to absorb the rich imagery and symbolism. The puppetry, while modest, has a certain charm that adds to its unique identity; it feels tactile and real. You get this sense of earnestness in how the characters express their struggles with faith and self-denial. It’s not flashy, but it lingers with you, pushing you to think deeper.
