Consuming Spirits

Consuming Spirits 16mm to HD, is an Independent feature animation, chronicling the lives of three characters who live in a rust belt town called Magguson, and work at its local newspaper The Daily Suggester. They are: Gentian Violet 42: Victor Blue 38: and Earl gray 64: first appear to be acquaintances. But as the film unfolds, we find they have a long diabolical history, revolving around social service intervention, and foster care, romance and hatred. Each character has family secrets to hide, and family secrets to discover. An auto accident one dark and inebriated night, causes a crack in the memory vault of these intimate strangers. By films end all parties walk from the woods, both healed and wounded..enjoy..

惊喜之作。画面很风格化，泥塑模型，照片，手绘定格，拼贴效果。叙事也很精彩，前四章将三个主角的生活琐事和记忆碎片杂揉在一起，最后一章将之前的碎片都联系在了一起，一个家庭悲剧故事被揭露出来。纯手工的动画加上怀旧忧伤的音乐和阴暗的故事。很棒的独立动画!

Grittily evocative, surreal and heart pounding. The five chapters unfolds as a mystery, and the recurring imageries and themes become more tangible. Loved the music and the "grotesqueness" of the cut outs. Director was quite emotional when invited to stage. Very experimental

当观众开始疲劳且这种谜团又开始被逐渐联系起来的逻辑解开时电影就开始变得没意思了 and the word I'm looking for is?
