Tide Table

About This Movie

Tide Table is one of those films that pulls you into a contemplative space. The animation has this ethereal quality, it's less about fast-paced action and more about lingering in moments, observing the ebb and flow of the ocean. The businessman, reminiscent of Kentridge's Soho Eckstein, stands there, almost like a statue, while time drifts. The perspective is intriguing; it feels like we’re trapped in his thoughts. The practical effects blend seamlessly with the animation, enhancing that hypnotic quality. Themes of time, existence, and observation really stand out here. The pacing is deliberate—almost meditative, which might not resonate with everyone, but it has its own charm. It's a distinct piece that evokes a sense of stillness amidst life’s chaos.
