About This Movie

I and I is a short animated piece by Shuhei Nishizawa that really plays with visual storytelling in an unusual way. It's not your typical animation; the pacing feels almost dreamlike, with a rhythm that invites you to linger on each frame. The atmosphere is quite ethereal, blending shapes and colors that morph into various forms, leaving you to interpret the narrative yourself. There’s a sense of introspection throughout, almost like you’re on a journey of self-discovery. The practical effects add a layer of depth, making the animation feel tangible despite its surreal quality. It’s distinctive in how it conveys emotion without dialogue, relying on visuals and sound to create a mood that sticks with you.
