ABER – Saken is quite the intriguing piece from 1984, though you won’t find much info on its director, which adds to its mystery. The animation style feels hand-crafted, almost tactile, capturing the bustling essence of a market. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the vibrant colors and nuanced expressions of Aber and the vendor. There's a certain charm in their interactions that speaks to themes of commerce and human connection. Practical effects are minimal, yet they enhance the threadbare atmosphere of the marketplace. The film doesn’t rush; it invites you to linger, which is a rare quality in shorts. It’s distinct in its simplicity and feels like a little gem waiting to be rediscovered among more well-known animated works.
