Bath House

About This Movie

Bath House is a curious blend of animation and comedy, directed by Niki Lindroth von Bahr. The film immerses you in this peculiar, almost surreal bath house where the characters are just as eccentric as their surroundings. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the oddball interactions among a pedantic manager, a couple with a cryptic way of communicating, and a gang up to shady business. The atmosphere is both quirky and tense, and the practical effects lend a unique tactile quality to the animation. It’s this distinctiveness that makes it stand out—there’s a real charm in its oddness, and the performances, though animated, carry a certain weight that brings the humor and darkness together seamlessly.
