Balance (1989)
Directed by twin
brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein this is an Oscar winning
animated short film. Men living on a floating platform survive by
moving together to maintain balance but things fall apart when they
discover a music box.
Despite it's fairly
simplistic nature this film is a great criticism of greed or putting
individual wants above the group. The action works well as a metaphor
for societies desire for things at the expense of others. I enjoyed
the animation style even if it is not especially unique but it is
easy to see why this film won an Oscar.
4/5
