With Michael Dudok De Wit creating his "The Red Turtle (2016)" as his major feature animation film, I thought of watching some of his earlier short animation films.

These are very unique to him. You'll notice when reading the relevant reviews.

An experimentation of infusion of Mr. Dudok de wit's tradition of animation in a massive way expanding the embedded nature of animation with great violin music into extreme abstraction of his animation is commendable.

In my opinion in the outer perspective this short animation may reflect on the preparation of tea and a microscopic vision of one tiny tea particle moving around the hot tea water.

Or like always this may reflect the smaller and tiny nature of human life as depicted in his other short films in a niche or micro perspective in my opinion in comparison to the external world or universe as per the animator.

Not surprising, The Aroma of Tea is just a Michael Dudok De Wit scene by scene. Well crafted, it can be discovered as a parable. But the mix of music and lovely way of a dot, in large territories, in different clashes, falling in a white circle is more than inspired. Because the basic gift of animation is the large freedom of interpretration and admire of the film. So, an inspired work.
