And Um

About This Movie

So, 'And Um' is this intriguing piece of animation from 2013 by Matt Reynolds. It's all about direct animation on 35mm, which gives it that gritty, tactile feel you don't get with digital. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, almost dreamlike, drawing you in with its flowing visuals and unique sound design. Themes of abstraction and perception are explored in a way that really makes you think. The practical effects are really something; they add a layer of depth that enhances the overall atmosphere. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill animated flick. If you appreciate experimental animation, you’ll find this one distinct for its artistic approach and craftsmanship.
