Meurtre

About This Movie

Meurtre is this curious little piece from '68 that plays with Kafka's themes in a way that’s both surreal and oddly charming. The animation, while not flashy, has a certain charm—almost nostalgic—and really captures the essence of an insect's disturbed tranquility. Those three little balls that intrude? They create a sense of tension that’s almost palpable. You get this feeling of existential dread that sits just under the surface, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike. It's distinctive for its unique blend of whimsy and melancholy, drawing you into a world that feels both familiar and unsettling.

Meurtre has become somewhat of a rarity in the animation collector's scene, often eluding the mainstream market. Its limited releases and unique style give it a niche appeal among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema. As for physical formats, it’s often found in obscure collections, making it a curious find for dedicated collectors seeking something different from the usual animated fare.
