short film skizein

I really enjoy french animations. There is a certain character to them, to be cliché a certain je ne sais quoi. They have this kind of simplicity of depth. There is not a lot of extra, no flash or anything. But the drawings have this muted complexity. I always just find it really memorizing to watch.

This particular film is about a man who lives permanently 91 centimeters to his right. Amusing but very sad at the same time because it's something I think we can all relate to to a certain extent, feeling like we're grasping at air just trying to do the simplest things in life.
