An animated short film about a man's collapsing sanity, featuring the voices of Paul Giamatti, Jason Mantzoukas, and Kate McKinnon GIANT SLOTH is a surrealist tale drawing as much on influences like Fellini and (the main character's namesake) Luis Buñuel as it does animation from the 1960s and 70s. I backed this Kickstarter project on the basis of Paul Giamatti starring. He is one of my favourite actors and he has deadpan humour. The Story The museum where Gordon Boonewell works - The Benchley Museum of Cultural and Natural History - has fallen on hard times. Attendance is down and they've been in the red for ages. So it's no surprise when the museum privatizes... no surprise to anyone other than Gordon. But Gordon is a curator of the past, a man set in his ways. Ways that are being systematically erased, dumping him into a world he's willfully ignored. Unable to cope with the upheaval alone, Gordon begins to suffer hallucinations. Or at least he hopes they're hallucinations... About Scandinavia and the World: It started in 2009 by the artist known as Humon, a comical look at how countries humanise one another and has grown to over 300 comic strips. About the Animations:
Scandinavia and the World will be brought to life in these funny, thoughtful, and somewhat educational animations, voiced by Stanton Nichols (and others) and beautifully animated by Stephen Leotti. On their website and YouTube channel My Misirlou (Egyptian girl/woman), your sweet glance Has lit a flame in my heart. Ah, ya habibi, ah, ya le-leli, ah (Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night) Your two lips are dripping honey, ah. Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty. Madness will overcome me, I can't endure [this] any more. Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land. My crazy, black-eyed Misirlou, My life changes with one kiss Ah, ya habibi, one little kiss, ah From your sweet little mouth, ah. Source: Wikipedia This Kickstarter project had all the promises I wanted to hear and see from an indie filmmaker. Misirlou the Movie has got it all; Sex, Drugs, Sunshine, Violence, Morality, PTSD and the search for ... what ever... everything. The whole thing is one LSD Trip with some sober moments. You can't help to get endeared by the initial acting, which get slightly better over time.
The main feature here is the 'colour' it is filmed in and the music used. The music piece called Misirlou is made famous to the 90's generation in Pulp Fiction as performed by Dick Dale. |
