Phototaxis

About This Movie

So, 'Phototaxis' is this intriguing blend of animation and documentary that really digs into some heavy themes. It’s got this eerie yet reflective tone, connecting the lore of Mothman – you know, that mythic figure from West Virginia – with the grim reality of addiction and recovery through Narcotics Anonymous. The pacing is interesting; it flows like a visual poem, letting the visuals speak almost as much as the narrative. The animation style is distinctive, almost haunting at times, which complements the serious subject matter well. It’s a bit raw, a bit unsettling, but that’s what sets it apart. Not your typical doc, that’s for sure.
