Idol

About This Movie

Idol is a fascinating piece, really. The animation has this gritty texture that feels like it’s grasping at something deeper. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the audience to linger on the protagonist's descent into isolation and moral decay. You can feel the weight of his pride, which is almost palpable, as he becomes consumed by his own image. The atmosphere is haunting; there’s a melancholic beauty to the visuals that contrasts starkly with the man’s growing loneliness. It’s interesting how the film uses practical effects to create the Idol, making it feel almost alive. The themes of ambition and the cost of self-absorption resonate throughout, leading to a bleak yet thought-provoking conclusion. It's distinct in its approach to storytelling, which leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
