Twists and Turns

About This Movie

So, 'Twists and Turns' from '87, it's a curious piece, really. The animation style has this gritty charm, which reflects the protagonist's twisted psyche. You’ve got this wire man, and the absurdity of his isolation is explored through his bizarre adaptations—like barbed wire modifications to his wife and dog. It's a darkly humorous take on paranoia and societal detachment, with pacing that keeps you engaged but also gives you time to digest the oddities unfolding. The practical effects are somewhat crude but add to that raw atmosphere. It’s not your typical animated fare, and it’s fascinating how it navigates the themes of self-imposed exile. Definitely a film that stays with you for its sheer oddity.
