But really good...The devil...and a sheep..Would love to see the rest of the story..or more stories if this was only a short
A surprise. or a collection of surprises. that is all. reference to Little Prince. the amazing texture of hair of Victor. admirable animation. and the inspired music. the seductive absurde. the colors reminding teenager party. and the right Frank. from existential dillema to a form created for surprise it. a salesman so seductive. and vulnerable. a misterius operation. and the answers. in the next episode. short, wow !
Just watched this for the first time ever (3-6-20, on NetFlix in 4K HDR), and I think it is a beautiful, elegant allegory; although I was at first confused why no one seemed to be named "Cosmo"...then I figured that part out! For those who admired the artwork, but were disappointed by what they felt was an abrupt and inconclusive ending, may I suggest that they, like Franck, accept the story as a springboard to a new way of looking at themselves and the world around them - a rebirth of sorts - and that they all write the ending that best fits for them? I don't believe the filmmakers ever intended to do it for us...so, like life itself, just enjoy the ride for what it is, folks! Peace. MFF/Hawaii

This 12 minute short film was Amazing. The idea in itself. Every minute had me more intrigued. I dont know why its been so many years and it hasn't been completed. Im begging for more. I know if I was rich, I'd definitely invest! I cant wait to see where this goes! This shouldn't be a lost project! This is definitely award winning! Please complete soon! Im begging!
I'm not a film student, a film art fanatic or an expert in these things. I'm just an everyday Joe watching a video. I don't care who the director is (unless he does a very good job on the video), what his past is, how experimental something is supposed to be. When I watch a film I look for good directing, good plot, and a purpose. Film for art-sake leaves me cold. Life is too short to watch pointless videos.
I'm no prude... but it's getting pretty sad when they can't make an animation without dropping the F-bomb. The animation on this is acceptable-- and even exceptional when they do a close-up on Frank's face. Other than that not much to see here. There's no indication up front this is a series, so the ending winds up being a no-plot nonsensical letdown. The entire video consists of primarily two scenes: a field of sheep and a laundromat (well a third scene, but spoilers).
While the premise is semi-interesting, the fact that they never really take it anywhere or explain anything quickly dissolves any expectations one may have in this. The high point of the video quickly turns (literally) into something that makes no sense. It's not funny, it's not impressive, it's not moving. It just is.
I appreciate "outside the box" as much as anyone and have enjoyed many cerebral, difficult-to-grasp animations, scifi and fantasy films. But there's nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
