The Life of Death

The death and its delicate touch. The life as a delicate deer. A sort of friendship. In silence, across seasons. And the hang changing everything. Or only reminding old truth and destroyng too fragile hopes. A beautiful film for each scene. Fascinating, tender and touching. Almost, an animated poem.

Death is corporeal in this odd little animated short. It is a bit cliched in that it uses the "touch of death" motif. Certain animals and plants are singled out. The main focus is on a female deer that walks with death and then embraces it at the end. I have to say, it gave me the creeps at times.
