Spiky

About This Movie

So 'Spiky' is this really intriguing mix of animation and documentary that Ken Jacobs pulls off in 2020. The film dives deep into the concept of Eternalism, which is fascinating, really. The pacing is kind of languid, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the ideas rather than rushing through it, which might not be for everyone, but I think it really works here. The atmosphere is almost dreamlike, with a strong emphasis on texture and color that feels tactile and engaging. I appreciate how Jacobs plays with animation techniques, merging them with real-world influences, creating a unique visual experience. The practical effects are low-key but add a nice layer of depth. Overall, it’s distinctive without trying too hard to be different, and that’s a refreshing take.

Explores Eternalism conceptually.Unique blend of animation and documentary.Interesting visual techniques employed.
