Rubato

About This Movie

Rubato is a poignant exploration of loneliness and connection through animation. The film dives deep into the life of a street musician, capturing that palpable sense of despair mixed with fleeting moments of joy. The atmosphere is rich, almost dreamlike, and the pacing allows the viewer to linger on each scene, feeling the weight of his struggles. The use of practical effects in certain sequences gives it a tactile feel that contrasts nicely with the more ethereal elements. The stray dog serves as a catalyst for change, symbolizing companionship in an otherwise isolating existence. It's this interplay of sound and silence, music and emotion, that really makes it stand out in the animated genre.

Animation that pushes boundaries.Distinctive blend of sound and silence.Themes of isolation and connection.
