Eu + Eu = Eu

About This Movie

Eu + Eu = Eu, this 1969 animation is like a visual poem, exploring identity in a way that feels both whimsical and profound. The pacing is erratic yet purposeful, almost dreamlike in its execution, with vibrant colors and surreal imagery that pull you into its world. There’s this undercurrent of existential questioning, and while it doesn't hit you over the head with a message, you can feel the layers beneath the surface. The practical effects have this charming handmade quality, which really sets it apart from more polished animations of the era. It's intriguing how it plays with form and narrative, making it one of those oddities that's hard to categorize but fascinating to dissect.

This film is quite scarce, with early prints becoming harder to find as the years go by. The VHS releases were limited and not many collectors seem to have held onto them, making any existing copies a bit of a treasure. The interest in this title has grown, especially among fans of avant-garde animation, as it’s such a unique piece in the landscape of late 60s film. If you stumble upon a copy, it's worth considering for its distinct style and the conversations it can spark.
