Well, the National Film Board of Canada's done it again. 'Village of Idiots' is a strange, yet charming little film which takes place in a tiny Polish village. The people there aren't too bright, thus the town's nickname, 'the Village of Idiots'. The animation is very unique, created using many layers of cut-out paper figures and illustrations, a strange beauty which many NFB films have become famous for. The whole mix-up which Schmendrick (the main character) makes is very funny, and it makes you think a little. It's a small film, but it's got big value. See it!
