The Shiteaters

About This Movie

So, 'The Shiteaters' is one of those quirky animations that really burrows under your skin—literally, if you think about the subject matter. The story revolves around these two oddball coprophages from Malmö who, in the dead of night, navigate the streets in their garbage truck. It's got this gritty, almost surreal vibe that juxtaposes the mundane with the bizarre. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere, which is both unsettling and oddly engaging. The art style leans into the grotesque, making use of practical effects that give it a raw feel. Not your typical animation—it’s more of a dark exploration of waste and consumption. Definitely not for everyone, but that's what makes it stand out in the animation landscape.
