About This Movie

So, 'Money' is this intriguing animated piece from 1967 that dives into the psyche of a man who's completely consumed by his obsession with wealth. The animation style is quite distinctive—there's this quirky charm to it that plays nicely with its comedic undertones. You can feel the pacing shift as his fixation deepens, almost dragging him down into a darker place where no other values seem to exist. It’s a fascinating exploration of capitalism and identity, and you really get a sense of the struggles between materialism and the self. It’s not just about the laughs; there's an underlying commentary that makes it stick with you, whether you love or hate the message.

The film has seen limited releases over the years, making original prints quite rare. Its animation style is a product of its time, which adds to its cult following among collectors. People often seek it out not just for the content, but for its historical context within the animated genre of the late 60s, where such themes were becoming increasingly relevant.
