BROKEN

About This Movie

So, 'Broken' is this intriguing animated short that really leans into a dystopian vibe. It features these characters made of glass, which is a cool visual metaphor, right? The split between the broken and intact really drives home some heavy themes about purity and decay. You can feel the oppressive atmosphere; it's almost suffocating in its bleakness. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the haunting visuals and the story's depth. And the spirits within these glass forms, some are pure, and some? Well, they’re rotten, which adds a layer of complexity. Distinctive for its use of practical effects, the way they animate the glass is something I haven’t seen done quite like this. Definitely a piece that sticks with you.
