About This Movie

Father. Mother. (2011) is quite a curious piece within the realm of animation and fantasy. The film employs these striking papier-mâché puppets that evoke a sense of eerie charm, almost like an unsettling dreamscape. It dives into some pretty heavy themes through a blend of sexual and bestial acts, which might be jarring for some, but it's all part of the broader commentary on myth and its decline. The pacing can feel off-kilter, but that just adds to the strange atmosphere it cultivates. The practical effects are raw, which suits its narrative style really well. And though the director remains unknown, the film’s distinctive approach makes it stand out in the trilogy 'The Third World.'
