English Walk

About This Movie

So, 'English Walk' is quite the curious piece from 2000, isn't it? The animation style feels a bit raw and unrefined, which gives it a certain charm. The tone is oddly whimsical yet tinged with this underlying absurdity. You find yourself drawn into this strange journey of a gentleman and a fish, navigating themes of loneliness and surreal companionship. The pacing has its quirks – at times meandering, other times surprisingly brisk – which adds to its unique vibe. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, lend a tactile feel to the animation. The performances, though mostly silent, convey a lot through exaggerated expressions. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after viewing, for better or worse.
