It's Such a Beautiful Day https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/It%27s_Such_A_Beautiful_Day_Poster.jpg Dir: Don Hertzfeldt Genre: Animated, Drama, Comedy Year: 2012 *Note: This refers to the three-part animated feature, not the standalone animated short that comprises the third part of the film. Don Hertzfeldt is truly one of a kind. There's really no one else that I know of like him, and no one to my knowledge has successfully mirrored his style since he made it "big" earlier this decade. So if you want to watch one of the most unique films on this list, look no further than It's Such a Beautiful Day. It's Such a Beautiful Day features Hertzfeldt's trademark minimalist animation that tells a loose story of a man's neurological decay. That sounds really dark and sad--and it is--but there are also moments of really funny absurdist humor and deep philosophizing to balance out the doleful nature of the premise. It's a deeply profound and personal meditation on memory and life that can hit really close to home at times, but I highly recommend watching it in the right mood. Just don't expect Toy Story. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
