Someone Must Be Trusted...

About This Movie

Someone Must Be Trusted... is quite the unique piece, isn't it? Released in '87, this film weaves together distinct animation styles from four different directors under Channel 4's banner. The tone is heavy, tackling themes like the harsh realities of equal pay and the complex narratives around rape and the virgin/whore dichotomy. Roche's segments stand out with their sharp observations, almost like a collection of thought-provoking vignettes. The pacing flows in a way that keeps you engaged, yet the gravity of the subject matter isn't lost. It’s not your typical animated fare, and that’s what gives it an edge. The animation itself feels raw and powerful, complementing the serious undertones beautifully. Worth diving into for anyone interested in how animation can explore deep societal issues.
