The Night of Plastic Bags

About This Movie

The Night of Plastic Bags is a quirky blend of animation and horror that dives deep into obsession and environmental commentary. The story centers on Agathe, who’s desperate for a child, and in her pursuit, she reconnects with her ex, Marc-Antoine, a DJ in the vibrant yet eerie setting of Marseille. What sets this film apart is its unique visual style—plastic bags animate in a surreal, almost nightmarish fashion, creating a chaotic atmosphere that reflects Agathe's spiraling desperation. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, mirroring the tumultuous emotions at play. It’s a strange mix of personal and societal fears, and the practical effects used to bring the plastic bags to life are both unsettling and oddly captivating. Not your typical horror flick for sure.
