Every Time You Go Away I Stab Myself a Little

About This Movie

So, this short animation, Every Time You Go Away I Stab Myself a Little, is a real piece of work. It dives headfirst into some dark themes—sex, consumption, body image, you know the drill. It’s got this raw and somewhat jarring tone that really sticks with you. The pacing is quite abrupt, which adds to the overall feeling of desperation. The visuals are striking, really playing with the idea of objectification in a rather unsettling way. It’s not your typical animation; it feels like it's pushing boundaries. The lack of a named director adds a layer of intrigue, like it’s meant to be an underground gem. Definitely not for everyone, but it forces you to confront some uncomfortable truths.
