Anime Club: La Maison en Petits Cubes
LA MAISON EN PETITS CUBES
CREATED BY: Kunio Kato
NO. OF EPISODES: 1 Film
GENRE: Short Subject
YEAR: 2008
COUNTRY: Japan
As his town is flooded by water, an aged widower is forced to add additional levels onto his home in order to stay dry. But when he accidentally drops his favorite smoking pipe into the lower submerged levels of his home, his search for the pipe eventually makes him relive scenes from his eventful life (including his time before the flooding began).
Now, here is definitely an odd ball of a film. I found this short hidden in my Netflix queue…and I am not sure what to think. The animation style is actually really well done, as I feel that it does a fantastic job providing an authentic hand drawn experience. The story is also rather interesting, especially once you analyze it just a tad to make sure you aren’t missing anything. I definitely understand why this short won so many awards.PROS:
- Interesting storytelling
- Hand-drawn animation style.
CONS:
- Length.
- Can easily bore you.
SCORE: 7.0 / 10
