This movie says more without using words and in 6 minutes then most full length "talkies" do. The imagery is alluring in a bittersweet and beautiful way and left me awed. I haven't seen many claymation pics, and with the "digital" animation age, these more classic forms have been dying out, and this film makes me lament that all the much more as it is breathtakingly beautiful. The subject matter is something we all deal with through life... the fire of youth and the draining of idealism through acculturation and capitalism... it just leaves you wowed, as if you were punched in the stomach but in a good way. It leaves you thinking like every great film should.
