Persistence of Vision

About This Movie

Persistence of Vision is a curious piece, really. It’s this exploration of obsession through the lens of animation—kind of surreal and haunting in its execution. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, where time seems to stretch. You get lost in the visuals, the way they swirl and transform. It's not just about the story of a piano teacher, but more about the descent into madness that comes from fixation. The practical effects are quite interesting too, blending traditional techniques with a unique animation style that gives it a very distinct look. There's a kind of melancholy that permeates the film, making the audience reflect on ambition and its consequences.
