Memorable, crazy movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Blistering performances.

This is one weird cartoon and fortunately while it is Russian, you don't need to speak the language to enjoy it. Like other Bronzit cartoons, the animation style is very simple and features squiggly lines instead of the usual smooth ones. However, despite the simplicity of the animation, the cartoon is really worth seeing because of its strange sensibilities.The cartoon is mostly set in a small room where there is a bed, a man, a cat and a mouse hole in the baseboard. Before going to bed, the man places a mousetrap next to the hole. Oddly, though, when he walks, he phases in and out--in other words, he appears and disappears as he moves (as does his cat) and there is no explanation of this. The mouse, however, defies the man's attempts to catch him. It seems that the mouse is much bigger than he'd anticipated--much, much, much bigger. It's all quite silly but well done that you can't help but laugh at the rather surreal aspects of the story.Overall, it's not perfect and it's not pretty--but it is funny and cute and worth seeing.
