About This Movie

DeKooning Passed is an intriguing blend of animation and documentary, crafted by Ken Jacobs. It dives into the realms of Eternalism, exploring time and perception through a unique visual lens. The film employs hand-drawn animations that dance and flicker, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that feels both dreamlike and tangible. The pacing can be meditative, almost challenging in its stillness, which I find interesting. Themes of artistic legacy and the transient nature of existence permeate the narrative. Jacobs’ practical effects give it a tactile quality, pushing the boundaries of traditional documentary storytelling. It’s distinct, and you can almost feel the weight of history in every frame.
