Mitosis

About This Movie

Mitosis is a curious blend of animation and documentary that plays with the concept of growth and development, using the theme 'baby' as its anchor. The film takes you through various stages of life, albeit in a rather abstract way. The pacing feels almost like a heartbeat—sometimes rapid, sometimes slow—mirroring the ups and downs of infancy. The animation style is distinctive, with a fluidity that adds to the organic feel of the subject matter. There’s a certain charm in how the visuals are paired with sparse, yet thought-provoking commentary. It’s not your typical documentary; it leans heavily into the artistic side of storytelling, making it stand out in a sea of more conventional works. Definitely something to discuss and dissect later.
