John 9:25

About This Movie

John 9:25 is quite the distinctive piece in animation. Combining Mika Taanila’s early track, We’re Becoming Blind, played in reverse, with these abstract, hand-painted 16mm visuals, it offers an intriguing collage of youth expression. The film, with its loose narrative and fragments from Godard’s Le Mépris, creates a tone that’s both nostalgic and disorienting. You find yourself navigating through layers of sound and imagery—an atmospheric exploration of perception and memory. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, letting you linger on visuals while the music swells and fades. It’s not just an animated film; it’s more like a reflective journey, making you ponder the essence of sight and insight.
