Quod Libet

About This Movie

Quod Libet is this fascinating piece from 1978 that plays with the boundaries of animation and eroticism in a way that feels both avant-garde and oddly cohesive. The film’s pacing is languid, almost hypnotic, allowing the viewer to get lost in its suggestive imagery and transformations. There’s a surreal quality to it, where the erotic becomes an art form rather than mere provocation. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, and the frame itself serves as a character, giving context to the shifting narratives. It’s distinctive for how it embraces and explores sexuality with an artistic lens rather than just sensationalism.

Quod Libet's distribution has been somewhat limited, making it a rare find for collectors. The animation style, combined with its thematic exploration of eroticism, draws interest from art film aficionados and animation collectors alike. It is often sought after in various formats, but original prints are particularly scarce, adding to its allure in collector circles.
