Onion Time

About This Movie

Onion Time is a curious little gem from 2016 that really dives deep into the mundane. The whole film is just this suburban guy, and you only see his hands - it’s all about his interaction with these onions. The animation style is simple yet oddly engaging, almost childlike in a way, which complements the surreal tone perfectly. It has this slow, almost hypnotic pacing, which makes you feel the weight of his solitude. The act of cooking transforms into a meditative ritual, and there’s a subtle comedy in the absurdity of it all. It’s a unique exploration of loneliness wrapped in layers of animation, and you can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship behind those practical effects with the onions. Definitely stands out in the animation landscape.
