After Rabbit

From New World Pictures, this is a great fun, Sci-Fi, half Japanese animated (Pokeman' style) & half live action film... I was the Sound Designer/Sound Supervisor/Editor on this film and it SOUNDS GREAT (for a first timer)!!!! It was my first film and started my career. The sound was so good that Don Bassman, the lead mixer and Director of the Sound Department at Twentieth Century Fox, asked me to move my company onto the studio lot. I did, from 1988 to 1992,... he gave me the key to building 26!!!!

In this experimental animation and live action hybrid post-apocalyptic indie film you really need to have a taste for such films as they are not done with your traditional story and filmmaking aesthetics. For some, the film does meander and seem to be unfocused but it has an interesting concept especially if you're able to appreciate it. It is definitely not for everyone especially those who have never seen the animated film Angel's Egg (I still haven't yet). The performances are not strong but that doesn't really take away from the film, overall, This being said, the visuals are interesting and for the most part, this avant garde film is easy to follow.

The first time that I saw this film, I believe in I-SAT channel already 15 years ago, I was surprised by the excellent music that plays the protagonist in the scene of the piano. Watching the credits at the end, and hearing that song again, I could find the answer to my surprise when I saw the name of the song: "carnavallito tango", neither but nor less than a mixture of two typical musical varieties of Argentina. Spent several years from the release of the film, I could discover, thanks to internet, that the author is Horacio Moskovici, an Argentinian pianist. I would like much to contact him and to congratulate by the masterpiece that has composed and that has pleased, according to the commentaries, people of diverse countries. 10 points, excellent.

Tripped over this movie on late night TV after a hard shift at work. Caught it just after the intro credits and wondered what it was about. The anime caught me off guard as I had gone to get a coffee and sandwich and thought the film had ended and was surprised to find it hadn't. The music caught my attention more than anything else. There is a classic piece played on the piano by one of the main characters which I have since discovered was not written for the movie as I had first thought. I'd like to track this piece down as it kept me watching the movie to the end. Some of the anime scenes have a haunting imagery to them which the music again complements well.

As films go this is was just tolerable, I didn't feel like i had wasted time that i'd never get back, however If your expecting to see great acting and expensive sets you'll be disappointed,this is a low budget film, good idea but a poor execution due to budget constraints.the only outstanding part of the film is a piece of music in it called carnavalito tango, the day after it was on TV i met some friends for a drink, some of them are real knuckle dragging neanderthals, the first topic of conversation was about the film and that piece of music which i have been searching for for quite some time, my only reason for wanting to see the film again would be just to record that track
