Deadpan

About This Movie

So, 'Deadpan' is quite the peculiar little piece from 2002. It’s animated, yet the vibe is deeply unsettling, almost akin to a fever dream. The humor, if you can call it that, is more about the tension and the absurdity of 1950s dinner parties where laughter is absolutely off the table. You’ll find yourself grappling with the bizarre idea of cow tongue as a main dish—an anxiety-driven choice, really. The pacing is a bit erratic, which somehow complements the irrationality of the whole experience. It's distinctive in how it marries dark themes with this oddball visual style, leaving you feeling a bit off-kilter after watching. Definitely one for those who appreciate weird, thought-provoking animation.
