About This Movie

Money, a Mythology of Darkness is quite a unique piece from Vasilis Mazomenos. The animation style is gritty, really capturing a dark and surreal atmosphere that matches its themes of despair and the decline of humanity. It’s divided into three segments, each reflecting different historical moments, and the pacing can feel jarring at times, which adds to the nightmarish quality. The practical effects are striking, making you question the boundaries of animation and reality. I find the performances, though animated, carry a heavy emotional weight. It doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of human nature, which makes it stand out. Definitely a thought-provoking watch, though not for everyone.
