So, Cartoon (2019) is this intriguing piece from Ken Jacobs, part of his Eternalism series. It has this unique blend of experimental visuals and a playful yet slightly disorienting tone. The pacing feels like a dream, with moments that linger and then shift unexpectedly, which keeps you on your toes. There’s a vibe that’s both nostalgic and avant-garde, tapping into themes of perception and reality in a way that’s quite interesting. Jacobs' use of practical effects, especially with light and color manipulation, really stands out. It's not your typical narrative; instead, it unfolds as an exploration, inviting you to get lost in its layers.
Cartoon has had limited releases, making it somewhat elusive in the collector's market. There are a few formats out there, but the physical copies are rare, often leading to interest among collectors looking for unique experimental works. The film's unconventional style and Jacobs' experimental pedigree add to its allure, as it showcases a distinct approach to visual storytelling that's hard to find elsewhere.
