    Very cool indie anime flick
    A fascinating combination of CG art and music by the indie Aoineko crew. This film is definitely worth a watch for fans of experimental narratives and video art.

    The film follows protagonist Leda Nea through a series of different layers of reality. Initially she is propelled only by grief, yet as the film evolves, other forces appear within her.

    It is a difficult film to describe, though in some ways it reminds of Kurosawa No Yume, another of my personal favorites. There is very little dialogue in Fragile Machine, save for chapter introductions read by a totally creepy Japanese doll, which sets the mood quite well, and has an awesome tie in at the end.
