Symbols

About This Movie

So, 'Symbols' is this interesting little gem from 2021 that dives into the world of language and communication through animation. It's not your typical narrative film—more of a visual essay, really. The pacing is quite relaxed, allowing the viewer to soak in the nuances of how symbols and text interrelate. The animation style is simple yet engaging, which fits nicely with the theme of abstraction. You’ve got this blend of natural and constructed language that’s both captivating and thought-provoking. It really plays with the idea of how we convey meaning in a world that's increasingly complex. Plus, there’s something about the way it uses visuals to challenge the viewer’s understanding of communication that feels distinctive, almost refreshing. Worth a look if you appreciate experimental animation.
