A poetic celebration of creation that intricately illustrates the wheel of life.
5/5

Review

Gerhard Funk’s experimental animation unfolds as a mesmerizing journey through the intricacies of life, artfully portraying the cyclical nature of existence from the realm of plant life to the animal kingdom, and ultimately embracing humanity and beyond. This visual odyssey, set to the captivating soundtrack by Tobias Schneider, is a testament to the seamless synergy of artistic elements.

The film’s strength lies in its abundant visual metaphors, meticulously crafted character design by Paul Muresan and Funk, and a rhythmic interplay of shapes that dance harmoniously to the enchanting music. The three-color rule of red, black, and white adds a striking visual consistency, creating a liquid harmony that permeates the entire narrative.

Funk’s creation is a splendid marriage of nature and culture, deeply poetic and nature-obsessed, offering an appreciation of the life-cycle through the lens of immersive animation. The absence of dialogue, replaced by Schneider’s evocative soundtrack, enhances the film’s universal appeal, allowing audiences to be captivated by the stunning artistic tale without linguistic barriers.

In its entirety, this experimental animation stands as a beautiful and captivating work of art that transcends traditional storytelling, inviting viewers into a realm where visuals and music coalesce to create a profoundly moving and visually stunning cinematic experience.
