Screen Play (1992)
Directed by Barry
Purves this is an animated short film. In historic Japan a couple
fall in love but are forbidden from being together.
While this short does
mix it's source material slightly taking the Willow pattern story,
which is an English invention set in China, and moving it to Japan
the narrative is still a very solid foundation. What really shines
out here is the animation which brings out a frenetic energy that
keeps the story moving and the viewer transfixed. If for no other
reason this short is worth watching just for the animation alone.
4/5
