Strip-tease

About This Movie

So, 'Strip-tease' from 1982 is this wild animated piece that really pushes the boundaries, you know? It takes Marie-Louise Ekman's 1973 painting and brings it to life in this bold, in-your-face way. The pacing feels a bit unconventional, almost erratic at times, which adds to its charm. You can feel the subversive tone that mixes humor with a kind of surrealism. The colors are vivid, almost overwhelming, but they perfectly match the crude yet fascinating themes of sexuality and liberation. The animation style is definitely not mainstream, which makes it stand out in a sea of more typical works from that era. It’s definitely one of those films you either get or you don’t; there’s a certain rawness to it.
