The End

About This Movie

The End is an intriguing piece of animation from 1983, and it unfolds in such a unique way. You have this young woman, seemingly alone on a train platform, waiting for something that never quite arrives. The pacing is interesting—each train that rolls in presents a different reality, from luxury goods to an odd collection of film stars, culminating in this chaotic crash with vodka. It’s surreal, you know? The atmosphere is steeped in a kind of melancholy, and the visuals—while simple—create a stark backdrop for the weighty themes of desire and disillusionment. The practical effects, though understated, add a tangible quality that contrasts with the animated elements. It really makes you think about what we’re all chasing in life.
