About This Movie

Buildings (2009) delivers a unique blend of animation that grapples with themes of isolation and fear of the unfamiliar. The story revolves around this towering skyscraper that intrudes on a quaint town, its modernity stark against the backdrop of low-rise buildings. The tension builds slowly—there’s this palpable unease as the skyscraper longs for acceptance but is met with disdain. The practical effects used in the animation really bring the environment to life, enhancing the atmosphere of dread. And then you have that storm, an unexpected twist that submerges everything in chaos. It’s a thought-provoking take on how progress can often disrupt the status quo, leaving the audience with a lingering sense of melancholy.
