Black Gold

About This Movie

So, Black Gold is this intriguing short animation that really gets you thinking. It’s got that surreal vibe that PES is known for, even if he’s not widely recognized as a director. The way the gold mannequin starts to be consumed by nature is just striking. It’s a mix of practical effects and animation that feels really visceral. You can sense a commentary on materialism versus nature, which is pretty cool. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the imagery, almost meditative in a way. The atmosphere? It’s dreamlike, yet there's a hint of eeriness when you see that shiny figure gradually give way to the wild. Definitely a distinctive piece in the realm of animation.
