Concrete (1986) is an intriguing piece of animation that explores existential themes through its unusual narrative. The film's atmosphere is both eerie and thought-provoking, as we follow this grotesque, overweight man navigating an endless void. His pursuit of shapes, particularly the Venus of Willendorf, symbolizes the search for meaning, even as it takes a dark turn. The practical effects have a raw quality that enhances the surrealism, while the pacing gives you time to really soak in the bizarre visuals. It's not just about the hunt; it's about what happens when desire leads to unintended consequences. The ending is a stark reminder of the folly in our pursuits, which leaves a lingering unease.
