It’s Blow-Your-Mind Friday! Belgian Mathieu Labaye directed and animated this short film. The animation reminds me quite strongly of Peter Chung, flavored with some Presstube- and Plympton-esque morphing action.

The narration is in French, but given the philosophical nature of the piece, I suspect it’s one of those things that’s better if you don’t speak the language, like foreign films, or anime. If you don’t get the nuances, you can’t tell if they’re awful. I know Waking Life would have been better in French.

Update: My thanks to the commenter who notified me that a subtitled version is now on YouTube, and shown below.

And I take all the cynical comments back — the nuances are better than I could have imagined if I were being optimistic. It’s a tribute to his late father, who had MS.
