The Mechanical Dancer

Fascinating short animation, not exactly for story but for precise crafted, rich, nostalgic and convincing atmosphere. You have the feeling to be behind a mute film and each detail, from melodrama to character represents a pledge in this sense.

A beautiful film about a young man , his cynic boss, a theater and a presumed mechanical doll dancing. A terrible truth sustaining the succes of theater , some reference to Gothic clasics and the precise defined end, with touching nuance than what you expect.

In short, just a nice trip in past , seductive moment by moment and admirable details ( the hands of young man as only one of them ).
