The Luncheon

About This Movie

The Luncheon, from 1980, is this quirky little piece that showcases Varga's claymation character Augusta in her clumsy, endearing glory. The animation has this charming, handmade feel—definitely not the slick stuff you see nowadays. The pacing's relaxed, almost leisurely, allowing the viewer to soak up the atmosphere of the scenes. It's like a gentle stroll through a whimsical world where absurdity reigns. The themes of awkwardness and the humor found in everyday situations are played out with a light touch. Even though it’s short, the practical effects really stand out, and Augusta's personality comes through brilliantly. Definitely a unique watch in the realm of animation.
