Beauty in basic

Damon the Mower (1972)

Directed by George Dunning this animated film is inspired by “The Mower's Song”, a poem by Andrew Marvel. A man cuts the grass while talking about the woman he loves.

While the animation style is really unique and pretty interesting I found it hard to divine any deeper meaning from the occasionally surreal collection of images. No doubt there is probably more to this than meets the eye but what it is exactly escaped me. As this is only a short film it is worth a watch in my opinion.


3/5
