Diary (1966) is this intriguing blend of animation and personal storytelling. The black and white photo retouching gives it this unique textured feel that really stands out. The narrative, which unfolds like an actual diary, captures the complexities of friendship and romance with a hint of melancholy, especially as the love triangle unfolds. It’s not the fastest-paced film, but the deliberately slow rhythm allows you to soak in the emotions and the atmosphere. The way the characters are drawn and animated adds a certain depth, making their feelings feel palpable. It's one of those films that sticks with you partly because of its unusual style and emotional resonance.
Diary is a bit of a rarity in the animation realm, especially with its specific use of photo retouching. It’s not something you come across every day, which definitely peaks collector interest. Formats can be tricky; it’s often found in obscured collections or specialty retrospectives. Seems like every time I see it pop up, it sparks a conversation among collectors about its artistic choices and emotional depth.
