Masks

About This Movie

So, 'Masks' is this intriguing piece that started off as an audio experiment, which is kind of wild if you think about it. The animation style is unique—it's not your typical polished animation, more raw and expressive. The pacing has this almost dream-like quality, pulling you into its world without much warning. The themes are pretty heavy, diving into modern exploitation and how we consume media. There’s a starkness to it that can feel pretty unsettling at times, especially with how it visually represents these ideas through its characters and settings. You can really see the thought behind the practical effects, which gives it a kind of textured feel that’s rare in animation. It’s definitely distinctive, not your run-of-the-mill animated flick.
