Poetic Jaundice is this fascinating little piece of animation from 1993. The whole vibe is kind of surreal, almost dreamlike. It follows an old woman on a quirky trip to the auto shop, but it’s not just about fixing cars. There’s this underlying reflection on aging and the passage of time, which gives it a somewhat melancholic tone. The pacing feels intentional, slow but engaging, allowing you to savor the visuals. The animation style, while simplistic, has a raw charm, and there’s an interesting use of practical effects that makes it stand out. The characters are expressive and lend an emotional depth to the narrative. It's definitely a distinct experience, not your run-of-the-mill animated short.
