Automania

About This Movie

Automania presents a quirky, almost surreal slice of daily life through the lens of animation. The tone is light, with a sense of humor that creeps in as our protagonist wrestles with his stubborn remote control device. You really feel the frustrations of modernity—like, the daily grind meets tech gone awry. The pacing is brisk, making the whole ordeal feel like a comic strip brought to life. The animation style has this charming, retro vibe that adds to its distinctiveness, and even if the director isn't known, the character work shines. It’s interesting how it captures that universal struggle of wanting things to just work, and how we all can relate to tech frustrations, even in an animated setting.
