Skhizein

About This Movie

So, Skhizein is this intriguing blend of animation and drama, with heavy doses of fantasy. The premise is quite odd—Henry gets hit by a meteorite and then has to live a peculiar life, always positioned ninety-one centimeters away from himself. It's fascinating how it explores themes of isolation and the absurdity of existence, all while maintaining this surreal, dream-like atmosphere. The pacing feels meditative, allowing the viewer to absorb the quirky visuals and the weight of Henry's situation. It’s not your typical animated fare, and the way they handle the practical effects is quite innovative for its time. Overall, it's a thought-provoking piece that sticks with you, perhaps more than you’d expect.
