BDM125, BDM126, Animation Reviews week of 2 March

Angle Mort by ESMA

This is a student film that was 9 minutes long and should have been 3.  It's the animated equivalent of adding "very, very, very, VERY" to your written papers to pad out the word count.  Really, 3 examples of elevators, sinister colleagues and brushing her hair out of her eyes should have been enough.  Considering the punchline, it was very, very, very, VERY long and pointless. 


Adult'hair by ESMA

This short was fun.  Also from students at Ecole Superieure des Metiers Artistiques, it made me wonder if "Hair" was the theme for the semester.  There's certainly a lot of it on display in this short as the super groovy hair stylist attempts to make over the traffic cop's wife without him knowing it.  Some very funny gags commence when the stylist accidentally kills his client and must bring her back with an electric hair straightener.  Short, fun, with great characters.
