Masterpiece!...
17 August 2001 | by (FINLAND) – See all my reviews

This is an absolutely astonishing short work concerning the meaning of life and what can not be manufactured in a synthetic factory. It presents a proletarian (in fantastic clay-mation) day in and day out, as he works in a factory assembly line building impersonal products to keep society happy. His dream is to one day create a new life affirming 'lense machine', for he is also an inventor with ingenuity. In his struggles, he continues having glimpses of children playing around a merry-go-round and they are in vibrant color, while laughing and in joy. His dream is achieved, and then he becomes an over zealous capitalist who is sitting all alone in his skyscraper office, after directing the harsh void of the assembly line that manufactures his new product. In the fleeting time that this short film runs, one gathers that it is something stupendous and magnificent and the true satisfaction of creativity is not how many products one sells but the "fire that burns within"... the song by the band 'NEW ORDER' is also melancholy which adds to the ambiance and is a joy to listen to. Strongly recommended! Look for it on Sci-Fi channel's "Exposure" or on PBS "High Intensity TV".
