Cyclepaths

About This Movie

Cyclepaths is an odd blend of animation and war themes, offering a surreal look at chaos and innocence. The visuals are striking, juxtaposing an old woman lugging her shopping bags with a child brandishing a gun on a scooter. This contrast creates a bizarre atmosphere, where the mundane meets the absurd. The pacing feels deliberately disjointed, reflecting a city in decline, as birds fly overhead like fleeting memories. The practical effects are minimalistic but effective, giving it a raw, gritty feel. It’s not your typical war narrative; instead, it’s a reflection on the absurdity of conflict through a child’s eyes. The performances—though animated—carry a weight that resonates rather deeply, making it a curious watch for the animation enthusiast.
