Finish

About This Movie

So, 'Finish' from 1983 is this really interesting animated piece that dives into the absurdity of labor discipline. The tone has this surreal quality, almost a dreamlike absurdity that reflects the rigid structures of work life. It's not your typical animation—there’s a rawness to the visuals that gives it an unpolished charm, and the pacing can feel erratic but purposeful, enhancing its satirical edge. The performances, if you can call them that in an animated context, are quite expressive and help to convey the frustrations of the characters. It stands out for its willingness to tackle labor themes in a way that feels both darkly comedic and thought-provoking.

Finish has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of an elusive title for collectors. Originally released in a small run of VHS and later on various obscure formats, it’s not easy to find in good condition. Interest remains steady among niche animation enthusiasts and those who appreciate unconventional satire, which keeps the discussions around it lively in collector circles.
