The Big City

About This Movie

So, The Big City, this 1995 gem from the Liquid Television block, is a trip for sure. The animation style is wild, almost like a fever dream, and it really captures that gritty urban vibe mixed with an experimental edge. The hip-hop influences are woven throughout, underpinning the narrative with a rhythmic pulse that keeps it engaging. It feels like you're peeking into a surreal world where reality bends and plays tricks on you. The pacing is pretty erratic, which actually adds to its charm – you're never quite sure what's coming next. It's distinct because it doesn’t follow traditional storytelling, opting instead for visual poetry that reflects the chaos of city life. You'd definitely notice that it’s not your run-of-the-mill animated feature.
