Leviathan

About This Movie

Leviathan (2006) is this curious animated short by Simon Bogojević-Narath. It presents a unique blend of jerky yet expressive characters that really capture a sort of unsettling charm. The animation style feels almost handcrafted, which, when paired with the themes lifted from Hobbes' 1651 work, creates a strange atmosphere that dances between whimsy and existential reflection. It’s not about smoothness; it’s about feeling and intention, you know? The pacing is interesting, meandering through scenes that feel dreamlike, yet the message about human nature and societal constructs hits hard. It's a film that sticks with you, not because it's flashy, but because it invites thought and dialogue.
