Mémorable

In this animated short, a painter slowly falls prey to dementia, his world dissolving into vague, impressionistic shapes.

Like DCERA, this animated short uses the form and look of its artwork to reinforce the story. In recent years, there have been several animated shorts nominated for Oscars which have concerned themselves with senility, and frankly, I'm getting tired of whatever members of the branch of the Academy responsible for providing the lists of nominees who keeps voting in favor of them. I guess whoever does thinks this is an important issue, and that they're going to keep nominating them until the Academy gives one of them the Oscar.

I agree it is importent, especially since I personally became a senior citizen, but there's more to animation than Alzheimer's, so stop it.

That said, it's very well done, and the artwork does much to tell the story.

Wow Just Wow, I'm speechless, Here's Your Oscar Winner

Both the visual art and the message conveyed. Dementia from the inside.

This is an incredibly moving film that treats the audience with respect, and allows it's animation, voice work and screenplay to carry the story. The film tells a compelling tale that anyone that has dealt with family or friend with a memory disorder can relate too but also gives the just the right amount of time to develop enough character within the film to relate to the cast by the end. I found the use of paint, and lack there of, at the end of the film moving and a wonderful insight to the mind of our protagonist. This film deserves any and all praise it has received. I will be recommending this film for years, and years to come and would love to see more from the writer, Bruno Collet, in the future.
