Chronopolis (1982)
Written and directed
by Piotr Kamler this animated film is a French/Polish collaboration.
A man climbs up to a massive futuristic city which is filled with
strange beings that spend their days on monotonous tasks.
I watched the shorter
version of this film which has all of the narration omitted and that
does make this film really ambiguous which is not to the taste of
everyone. The plot harks back to the style of various myths, such as
stealing fire from the gods, but leaves plenty of room for anyone to
offer an interpretation. It took 5 years to make this film but it has
a truly unique animation style which is very much reminiscent of
ancient carvings.
4/5
