The comfortable indifference of abundance

About This Movie

So, 'The Comfortable Indifference of Abundance' is a curious piece, really. Directed by Lucas Adrián Schiaroli, it dives into an almost surreal landscape where a Fish Boy is searching for water. The animation has this fluidity that reflects the desperation of its protagonist, contrasting sharply with the wastefulness depicted in Wet City. You get this haunting atmosphere, especially when the storm hits; it’s like a turning point that shakes everyone out of their complacency. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to soak in the visual storytelling and themes of scarcity versus excess. It’s not just about the Fish Boy’s quest, but really a commentary on our own relationship with resources. It leaves a lingering thought, doesn’t it?
