Journey

About This Movie

So, 'Journey' from 1989—it's an interesting blend of animation and the absurd, drawn from Daniil Kharms' peculiar stories. The tone feels whimsical yet oddly unsettling, typical of Kharms' work. The pacing kind of meanders, which works for the surreal narrative. You get that sense of a dreamlike flow, where logic takes a backseat. The animation itself, while not flashy, captures a certain charm, with practical effects that give it a tactile feel. The performances, if you can call them that in an animated context, evoke a range of emotional responses. It's distinctive in how it plays with the absurdity of everyday life, making you question what’s real and what’s just the projection of imagination.
