Jimi

About This Movie

So, Jimi (2020) is an intriguing mix of animation and comedy that dives into the absurdity of a struggling guitarist. The tone is oddly whimsical, yet there’s a dark undercurrent that runs through it. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, almost like the protagonist’s own grasp on reality. The self-harm aspect is presented in a surreal way, making you ponder the lengths one might go for creativity—or attention, I suppose. The animation style is distinct, kind of quirky, which adds to the overall offbeat vibe. It’s not every day you see a film handle such heavy themes with a comedic twist, and that’s what sets it apart in the animation realm.
