The film consists of a tiny army of men entering a town and shooting anything with color--making everything gray and dull. Then, once they obtained control, they put the people into a machine that erases who they are--making everyone the same. All ethnic differences are now gone and everyone is wearing prison garb. Into this horrible new world wanders a red jester. Can he do anything to change this situation or will he, too, become just another gray and miserable person?
CHROMOPHOBIA is a piece of the 1960s that seems to make less sense today than it did back then. First, while the animation is pretty ugly, for a 1960s film it actually looks pretty good. Sure, the frame rate and quality of the artwork is pretty poor, but this was the norm for this time period. Second, its message sure ain't subtle but as another observer pointed out, the message seemed to have a political edge--how Communism at the time was in favor of homogenization and conformity. Seen today, it's an entirely different film.
