Somebody Else

About This Movie

Somebody Else (1996) is a quirky blend of animation and mythology, where jaded urbanites encounter whimsical beings from their ancestral folklore. The film strikes a curious balance between the cynicism of modern life and the enchanting allure of ancient tales. The animation style has a rough charm, complementing the peculiar scenarios and exchanges between characters. It’s got this offbeat humor that sneaks up on you, making the whole experience feel both nostalgic and fresh. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it adds to the surreal quality of the narrative. There’s something about the way it presents these mythological figures, as both guides and tricksters, that leaves a lasting impression, reflecting on our own disconnection from nature and heritage.

Interesting take on urban versus mythological themes. · Animation style feels both nostalgic and unconventional. · The humor is subtle but impactful.
