Dark Sentiments Season 9 — Day 7: Fallen Art
Posted By Randy on October 7, 2018
While brilliant, tonight’s Dark Sentiment isn’t quite so uplifting as yesterday’s. In fact, one might say, quite the opposite for some of its characters.
Written and directed by Polish animator, illustrator, and director Tomasz “Tomek” Baginski, and released in 2005, Fallen Art is set against a backdrop of decrepitude. As described by production firm Platige, of which Tomek Baginski is a Director —
“It’s a war story with a big dose of black humour that required a form lighter in tone, with a more tongue-in-cheek look of the characters and their environments. The music plays a very important role in the short. “Asfalt Tango” by the Balkan band Fanfare Ciocarlia facilitates the transition into the world of weary soldiers inhabiting the abandoned military base. Rafal Wojtunik was responsible for the visual concept of the movie.”
To enhance your viewing pleasure, I would suggest decanting whatever you feel pairs best with the acceleration of gravity.
Formaldehydic dreams. Need to watch it at least twice if for nothing else than the great graphics.
It is splendidly rendered.
