Consequence

About This Movie

So, 'Consequence' from 1987 is this curious animated short that captures a rather bleak but oddly fascinating slice of life. It shows this chaotic traffic jam and the ensuing chaos as the fumes waft through the air, affecting everyone—humans, animals, you name it. The animation style has that raw, almost gritty feel which adds to its environmental commentary. It's not just about the coughing; it’s more a reflection on urban life and the often-overlooked impacts of pollution. The pacing is deliberately slow, giving you time to absorb the atmosphere—a mix of frustration and absurdity. What really stands out is how it uses practical effects to illustrate the suffocating environment, making it distinctively haunting in its own way.
