I really liked the use of animation and humor to treat heavy topics, respectfully, and lightly - classy, funny, smart and humane. It really helped you open up to the story, and suddenly you realize - wow, that was deep, or heavy, or insightful...Really thoughtful writing and editing.
The review of really recent Turkish history made me realize how much I didn't learn at school.
Plus, a subtle and fun tour of utopias... Worth watching if you have to read Plato, Merton, or Friedman - Utopists who just don't realize their heaven on earth is hellish.
I just hope this filmmaker keeps going - I'm curious to see how she treats other subjects, people, etc.
