Frustration: When Does a Banknote Start to Burn ?

About This Movie

Frustration: When Does a Banknote Start to Burn? is a curious little piece that plays with the chaos of modern office life. The animation, entirely in stop motion, feels both frenetic and hypnotic, as thousands of photocopies whirl through the screen. It’s this relentless stream that mirrors the repetitive grind of day-to-day work. The soundtrack from the French post-punk group Frustration adds a gritty texture, enhancing the stark visuals. You can sense a sort of existential frustration bubbling under the surface, and yet the whole thing stays playful. The practical effects, with that tactile quality of paper and movement, are a standout. It's not just about the sound and vision; it resonates with anyone who’s ever felt trapped in monotony.
