This is one of the most impressive short films I have seen in a long time.
It is based on the book The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan.
"...the pictures reveal a freakish tentacled animal in a surreal treeless world of green skies, excessive plumbing, concrete and machinery."
I was given one of Shaun Tan's books for my birthday this year 'The Arrival' and was so impressed by the beauty of it. A true work of art. I've never seen anything like what he does. The Arrival is about the journey of an emigrant and the struggles he goes through living in a strange foreign land. It's a complex, beautiful story that is told only in images. Letting you linger in each exquisite frame to fully absorb the enchanting storyline that gives you a real window into a journey that so many have taken, myself included.
Highly recommend checking out his work.
Beautiful! We are all the lost thing.
ReplyDeleteI like that the goodness of the human heart is shown through the person who finds the lost thing and takes care of it.
A brilliant piece of work. Thanks for sharing 3m

ReplyDeleteI want to go to the place where they were all playing in the sunshine and drawing on the ground. : )
