She Puppet

About This Movie

So, 'She Puppet' is this intriguing piece by Peggy Ahwesh that dives deep into the psyche of Lara Croft, peeling back layers of her character through animation. It’s not your typical homage—it's a bit of a collage, really. The mix of appropriated footage from 'Tomb Raider' alongside the animation creates a disjointed yet cohesive exploration of identity. The pacing feels experimental; it ebbs and flows, almost dreamlike in parts. The themes of alienation and self-duplication resonate, especially with today’s conversations on virtuality and representation. Plus, the visual aesthetics have this raw, handmade quality that stands out, making it something quite distinctive in the animation genre. If you're into works that challenge conventions, this one's a gem.
