I'm Still Alive

About This Movie

So, 'I'm Still Alive' is a 2017 animation that really sticks with you. The use of just black, white, and red is striking—creates this stark, chilling atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, letting the haunting visuals breathe. It’s not your typical animated fare; there’s a rawness to it that reflects the heavy themes of loss and memory, tied deeply to the director's family history. Anita Lester's voice adds another layer, pulling you into her grand-aunt's horrific past. It’s minimalistic but effective, and you can feel the emotional weight in the sparse dialogue. It's one of those films that lingers, making you think long after the credits roll, kind of unsettling but in a good way, I guess.
