Turns out animated Middle East is just as brown as real Middle East. Beautifully drawn though and if you aren't a crybaby about subtitles I don't see how you could fail to like this film.





Can't recommend that film enough. Here's my review from the old thread:

A documentary unlike any other. Frequently beautiful, dream-like, rotoscoped animation with real style and a reflective, meditative intelligence to back it up. In my top ten of the year, watch it.
I saw The Spirit, I post about it later.
