DAYMAN

FIGHTER OF THE NIGHTMAN

one of my favourite developments from short to feature is making the sugar daddy hot

reminiscent of fantastic mr fox, if mr fox was a tailor mouse that had homosexual feelings towards a fellow gentleman mouse. its impossible to ignore the comparisons to wes anderson’s style of animation in the fabric of you, but its also impossible to not appreciate every detail that’s cared for, and it makes for a very touching tail indeed.

i bumped into yorgos lanthimos after uncut gems at london film festival and i wish i saw this sooner so i could have asked him, personally, what the fuck is wrong with you

dylan o’brien: hey man can we meet? ive got a new role i need to study and prepare for

jake gyllenhaal: sure bro, why me in particular?

dylan o’brien: no reason

adore the use of handheld cameras in stop-motion (no wonder this got itself an oscar nomination) and this is sure to inspire a lot of people with dreams of working on animation. hopefully next time this style can be paired with equal attention to the writing as the story falls short compared to how good it looks.

freeze takes the viewer on a rollercoaster of fear for running out of time, parental pressure and post-relationship trauma. irregular storytelling keeps the short interesting and a host of quirky characters in vibrant set design stand apart from a crowd of medical thrillers. subtlety isn’t something to be found in freeze which lends itself nicely to the runtime, though I’d love to see a feature version of this one day with more time to pack an emotional punch.
