Erection

About This Movie

Erection, directed by the elusive Guido Manuli, is a curious piece of animated cinema from 1981. The film dances through surreal landscapes and playful absurdities, offering a unique blend of humor and adult themes. Its animation style is distinct, with a hand-drawn aesthetic that gives it a personal touch, almost like a sketchbook come to life. The pacing is a bit erratic, which keeps you on your toes, with scenes that ebb and flow in unexpected ways. The voice performances add an extra layer of charm, mixing the whimsical with the risqué. It’s not your typical animated fare, and that’s what’s interesting—there’s a kind of freedom in its expression that sets it apart from mainstream animation of the time.
