How I Gave Up Smoking

About This Movie

So, 'How I Gave Up Smoking' is this quirky little animated piece that explores addiction and the absurdity surrounding it. The film opens with a jaw-dropping moment—a Scandinavian woman nearly meets her end because the main character lights up at an airport. The atmosphere is a blend of dark humor and surrealism that keeps you on your toes. Pacing varies, sometimes it feels brisk, other times it lingers, mirroring the struggle of breaking a habit. The animation style has this unique texture, almost hand-drawn, which adds a layer of charm. The humor is dry, maybe not for everyone, but it definitely makes a statement on smoking, addiction, and the lengths we go to for change. Quite a distinct work, really.
