Orange Peel

About This Movie

So, "Orange Peel" is quite the intriguing animation piece from 2021. It's not what you'd expect in the genre—there’s a real emphasis on mood and atmosphere here. The film captures this quiet introspection as we follow a woman on a train ride back from Spain, cradling a notebook filled with memories and, oddly enough, an orange. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to soak in the visuals and the subtleties of her thoughts. The animation style feels hand-drawn and has this rough charm, really distinct. It’s not just about what you see; it’s more about what you feel, and that’s what sticks with you long after the credits roll. Just a different kind of storytelling, you know?
