War and peace in your neighbourhood

Neighbours (1952)

Written and directed by Norman McLaren this film stars Grant Munro and Jean-Paul Ladouceur. Two men living next to each other become obsessed over a flower and who owns it.

This is a simple allegorical short film that pushes peace and anti-militarism. While there is nothing revolutionary about the content of the film it is still well made. I enjoyed the use of stop motion with live subjects and it makes for an interesting style.


4/5
