Life and Death is an intriguing animated film from 1989 that tackles heavy themes like environmental pollution and the follies of demagoguery. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in its messages while being visually engaged by its distinct animation style. It’s divided into three parts, each exploring different facets of responsibility—or lack thereof. The atmosphere is quite somber, which really drives home the film’s critique of societal negligence. And while the director remains unknown, it’s the practical effects and the unique character designs that set it apart. There’s a rawness to it, a kind of urgency that you don't often see in animated works of this era.
