Native Animals

About This Movie

Native Animals (2019) is this intriguing documentary that takes a rather unconventional approach to commentary on the UK's political scene during the Brexit chaos. The film features an ensemble cast of characters—each a kind of caricature that represents various facets of the political spectrum. There's a piggy politician draped in a Union Jack, and a rather aloof cat glued to its phone, creating a surreal atmosphere that feels both comical and unsettling. The pacing is deliberately uneven, mirroring the chaotic political landscape of the time. It's a visually striking work, thanks to its 8-channel format, making it a unique viewing experience. The practical effects and the quirky performances really draw you in, making you think about the absurdity of it all.
