About This Movie

So, Eyen is this intriguing little piece from 2001. The blend of Jean-Luc Chansay's daughter’s drawings with computer animation creates a surreal atmosphere that’s hard to pin down. It’s not your typical animation—there's a dreamlike quality to it, almost like wandering through a gallery of whimsical thoughts and emotions. The sculptures by Marie Mercier add a tactile dimension that really contrasts with the digital aspects. The pacing is deliberately slow, giving you time to soak in each visual. Themes around childhood and imagination come through without being overly sentimental. It's distinctive, for sure, and leaves you pondering long after it’s over. A nice gem for those who appreciate the experimental side of animation.
