A Strange, Solitary, Somber Story
ccthemovieman-128 August 2010
Why this was listed under the "humor" of the Animated Express DVD is a bit puzzling because it really isn't funny....not that it isn't entertaining and beautifully drawn, though.

The combination of color and black-and-white make it intriguing, but the color - especially in high-def - is stunning. You are never sure what kind of strange sight you're going to see next in this story even if the tale is somewhat bland.

It all has to do with a solitary man working in an office by himself year after year, and a yearly card and present from his mother. Those two wind up sort of telling the tale by the time it's all done at the end. The story will keep you interested, Mainly, you'll be wondering how is this all tied together and going to end? Recommend, but don't expect a lot of laughs.

a clerk decision
Kirpianuscus27 April 2024
The Kafka touch seems the main trait defining this short animation. But the end proposes a smart - seductive twist, very useful encouragement for viewer.

In short, the life , from 25 to 41 of an insignificant clerk, with absurd job in impressive bulding of Life Inc.

A promotion is occasion to define, in precise terms, the nasty truth to his boss, a tempt to discover the most high possible function discovers a terrible nightmare, the postcards from his mother at each birthday is presumed consolation, like the collection of ties.

The solution - to make his hobby the only job, for his mates good day source .

In short, a sort of admirable crafted parable.
