Symmetry

About This Movie

So, 'Symmetry' is one of those fascinating animated pieces that really gets under your skin. It feels like a dream; Stapp plays with this ethereal quality that draws you into a surreal dance. The way he uses pointillist techniques creates this almost hypnotic rhythm—each frame feels like it's floating in its own universe. You can see hints of traditional Japanese art, too, which adds to its depth. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the atmosphere rather than rushing through the experience. It’s not just animation; it’s a journey through a world of shapes and colors that feels both familiar and completely alien.

'Symmetry' has had a bit of a rough journey in terms of availability. It was released on various formats but has been particularly scarce in any decent restoration. Collectors often seek out original reels or early VHS copies. Its distinct animation style and the mystery surrounding the unknown director keep the interest alive, making it a notable discussion piece among animation enthusiasts.
