I'll Kill Myself!

About This Movie

So, 'I'll Kill Myself!' is this short animation from 1975 by Alina Maliszewska. It dives into the twisted love life of two characters who are sort of stuck in this dark, absurd loop of wanting to end it all together. The animation style is pretty unique for its time – it's raw, almost chaotic, which really adds to the tension of the story. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you just enough time to absorb the gravity of their situation before it flips again. It’s a heavy exploration of love and despair, but what stands out is the practical effects. They blend the fantastical with the harsh emotional realities the characters face. It’s evocative, unsettling, but in a way that really sticks with you. Definitely not your average animated short.
