Plot: Bill struggles to put together his shattered psyche, in this new feature film version of Don Hertzfeldt's animated short film trilogy. |
Don Hertzfeldt, the creator of Rejected Cartoons, released his only full-length feature in 2012: It’s Such a Beautiful Day. Split into three chapters, the film’s protagonist, Bill, falls prey to abstract visions as his memory begins failing him. It’s both playful and serious. It will invigorate and destroy you. You may cry, but you will definitely ache. Hertzfeldt’s simplistic drawings are deceptive as they reach extraordinary depths of emotional and visual intensity as he explores the depths of the soul, and what it means to be alive. A mixture of traditional animation and experimental special effects, It’s Such a Beautiful Day is a remarkable work that puts on screen the fears and freedoms of our subconscious minds. An essential work. — Allison Keene
