In the future, images are banned and the control of them are in the hands of a murderous sect. One man is a photographer who refuses to give his art up with deadly results. However his existence is not the be-all and end all of things and he takes a stand against this cruel world.
Having seen one of Al & Al's short film before I sort of knew what to expect in so much as I expected an incomprehensible plot delivered in front of a blue screen that would be filled in with weird and imaginative computer animation. That's what they did with the story of their grandfathers in "Perpetual Motion in the Land of Milk and Honey" so I expected the same again, which is just what this film delivers. The "story" is not so much a story as it is a world that the film happens within. As such it doesn't make a lot of sense but it is a fascinating world full of imaginative touches.
Likewise the animation is impressive. Not so much in regards the quality and detail of it because, although it is very good, there will always be bigger and better computer animation out in the commercial world, but because of the world and vision that they the directors have produced. It is very hard to believe, watching the film, that it was pretty much all filmed in one small role against a grey sheet! This aspect holds the interest even as the plot gets more and more incomprehensible, thus helping to hold the viewer's interest.
Worth a look then for what it does well. I did find it interesting and engaging but must confess that if it had been a bit more accessible then it would have been better. Al and Al certainly have a lot of talent and imagination between them but perhaps for future shorts they could benefit from fleshing out the characters, plots and worlds as well as they do the computer generated aspects.
