Reason

About This Movie

So, Reason is this intriguing animated piece that MTV rolled out in 2002, taking a distinct approach to the aftermath of September 11. The animation style is pretty unique, and it’s all based on a still image from Dave McKean, which gives it this hauntingly surreal vibe. You can feel that it’s an artist's response—there’s an underlying tension throughout, a mix of melancholy and reflection. Pacing is a bit unconventional, weaving in and out of states of being, sort of mirroring the disorientation many felt during that time. The atmosphere is thick with emotion, and though the director isn't known, the art direction speaks volumes. It's definitely a piece that stands apart, perfect for anyone interested in animation that steps outside of the usual narrative confines.
