Things that Disappear

About This Movie

Things that Disappear is quite an intriguing piece. It captures this poignant atmosphere of solitude and loss. The animation style feels both delicate and raw, enhancing the emotional weight of the elderly character’s experience. The pacing is slow but intentional, allowing you to really dwell on the themes of memory and the impermanence of life. There’s a quiet intensity as the protagonist prepares for a makeshift funeral for a beloved pet, which becomes a mirror for their own sense of abandonment in a changing world. The practical effects—like the use of textures and colors—add a unique layer that feels almost tangible. It’s not your typical animated fare, that’s for sure. Just a simple, yet profound reflection on what truly matters.
