Impetigo

About This Movie

Impetigo is quite the oddball in the animation realm. It's this surreal dive into a world of passion and possession, where you meet Zeke, a timid birdlike creature, and Flake, this gritty post-industrial robot. There's a fish too, just swimming through the chaos. The atmosphere drips with a nocturnal heaviness, almost dreamlike, yet unsettling at times. It's not a straightforward tale; the pacing can feel a bit off-kilter, but that just adds to its charm. The practical effects are raw and gritty, giving it a unique texture that you don’t often see. And then there are the themes—identity, longing, and the weight of existence are all woven into this bizarre narrative. It's distinctive, for sure.
