Anima

Interesting visuals, interesting choreography, interesting music, I was thoroughly entertained.

This is the work of artists who wish to express something elemental in human nature.

I can't say for sure I know what they had in mind exactly, or what another person might experience from their viewing; what I can say is that it is masterly work and for me it's about connection.

The last time I saw something this affecting was Michael Dudok De Wit's The Red Turtle; Anima is every bit as life affirming (even though it may evoke tears).

There's little point in elaborating on plot points and such because that's not what work like this is about; it's something to be experienced at a near subconscious level.

I will very likely watch this for a long time to come: many times over.

Mr Yorke, Mr Anderson; Thank You.

Lovely visuals by PTA and artsy sound by Thom.. Enjoyable audio-visual journey that reminded me of the old days when people cared about videos that work with the music.

Although its exploration of the dystopian societies is nothing new, ANIMA is a fairly entertaining, and occasionally disturbing, hypnotic treat for the senses.

(8/10)

I bawled my eyes out! So did my wife. There is always more than meets the eye (and ear) with both PT Anderson and Thom, and this truly is a masterpiece fitting of their filmographies. Knowing a bit about Mr Yorke and what he has been through in the last few years can make for some supremely heart breaking stuff, and Anima is just about the most perfect love letter ever written. This is art, real art 😭
