The Fly

No, this is not the Cronenberg film. I'm writing about Ferenc Rófusz's experimental animated short film that was made in 1980. It is a 3-minute film about a fly buzzing around until it enters a house and ... you can probably figure out the rest. The sparse amount of frames per second gives it an intensive atmosphere - which is made even more tangible by the use of a "fake" fish-eye lens that has been used later in anime by Hideaki Anno for example. You could probably write a brief analysis of nihilism or terrible discrimination of insects if you wanted to, but this film is all about badass technical madness.

Score: 8 out of 10

PS: The film is uploaded on YouTube.
