The Beauty

About This Movie

The Beauty (2020) is a striking animation that dives into the concept of merging plastic with marine life, creating a surreal backdrop that's both haunting and hypnotic. The director, Pascal Schelbli, crafts an atmosphere that feels heavy with guilt yet oddly beautiful, capturing the viewer in a dream-like trance. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to absorb the bizarrely enchanting creatures and landscapes that unfold. There's a certain weight to the visuals, with practical effects that give a tangible sense to the animated world. Themes of environmental impact and existential dread linger throughout, making it distinct in its narrative and aesthetic. It's a reflection on our relationship with nature, wrapped in an eye-catching package that's hard to shake off.
