Igor Kovalyov's 'Hen, His Wife' is a curious exploration of domestic life through surreal animation that feels both intimate and outlandish. The visuals are a treat—lush, detailed backgrounds contrast with the bizarre characters, like the oversized chicken-wife and the odd slug creature that serves as both child and pet. The pacing has this dreamlike quality, weaving through moments of absurdity and warmth, often leaving you pondering the underlying themes of family and existence. It’s really the practical effects that set it apart; the hand-drawn artistry gives it a texture that's hard to describe. This film is definitely not your standard fare; it’s more an experience that lingers in your thoughts long after the credits roll.
