Crocus

About This Movie

Crocus is a fascinating piece from Suzan Pitt that really dives into the subconscious. The animation style is this wild, trippy combination that feels both playful and deeply intimate. You watch as the woman's nightly routine morphs into a surreal tapestry, with each ritual—like putting the baby to bed or moments of intimacy—swirling into something bizarre yet relatable. It's got this dreamlike quality that feels unfiltered, almost like it’s pulled right from the psyche. The pacing is non-linear and allows for a wandering exploration of themes like domesticity and desire. Pitt's use of practical effects is notable, crafting a visual world that feels both tactile and otherworldly. It's distinct in its rawness; it's not just animation, it’s an experience.
