nice
12 June 2017 | by Kirpianuscus – See all my reviews

for fans of cats and jazz and poetry - an inspired choice. because it is one of short films who seems be a drop of perfume. nothing more. nothing new. a voice. animation. a story - old and dark, few mystery crumbs and a lovely story about a circle of music, decadence and solidarity. result - nice entertainment. not memorable but nice. and this could be a precious virtue. for remind a blue state and the flavor of poetry.
