About This Movie

Affection (2012) is this intriguing blend of animation and horror that dives deep into the complexities of longing. The aesthetic is hauntingly beautiful, with a surreal quality that keeps you a bit on edge. It captures this man's yearning for a woman, but it’s not just about love—there's a darkness that simmers under the surface. The pacing feels deliberate, each frame almost like a painting that lingers, forcing you to absorb the tension. Practical effects come into play, adding a tangible unease, which contrasts sharply with the animated style. The performances, though animated, convey raw emotions that hit hard, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of indie animation. It’s not conventional by any means, but that’s what sets it apart.
