In the Beginning Was the Eye

About This Movie

So, 'In the Beginning Was the Eye' is an intriguing piece from Bady Minck that dives deep into the whole idea of Alpine landscapes and the tourists that occupy them. It's not your typical animation; there's a real collage feel here with old photographs and postcards stitched together to create this scenic commentary on tourism and kitsch. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the subtle critiques wrapped in the picturesque. The use of digital technology feels almost playful, giving life to what could easily be seen as mere nostalgia. It’s a distinct blend of art and commentary, with an atmosphere that’s both soothing and slightly critical, making you ponder the nature of leisure and consumption.
