I Would’ve Been Happy

About This Movie

I Would’ve Been Happy is an intriguing exploration of familial ties, employing animation in a rather unconventional manner. The director, still unnamed, has crafted a visually arresting world that feels both intimate and abstract. Using pictographs and ceramic tiles, the film reconstructs domestic spaces that are hauntingly familiar, yet distant. It’s not just about the visuals; the pacing fluctuates, almost mimicking the erratic nature of memory itself. There’s a tangible sense of nostalgia woven through the quilted cyanotype fabrics, which adds a layer of texture to the narrative. It's this blend of materials and themes that makes the film stand out, reflecting on how we navigate our personal histories, and the artistic choices feel refreshingly bold.
