sumpit Review of Father and Daughter

Father and Daughter (2000)

A gem like this doesn't come often enough.

[9/10 · 10 June 2006]

It is a short (8 minutes++) artistic piece of animation that will leave you crying. It may be in black and white (and shades of gray) and no words are spoken, but the story is so effectively conveyed, you'd be surprised of your own reaction once it ended. It also helps that the characters are beautifully drawn and the landscape is quaintly painted. I'm glad it won as Oscar. However, too bad it's gonna be hard to find. I really hope more people can get a chance to watch it. Watching it will make you appreciate your father even more, and for those who have lost a father, watching it might even be unbearable. Find it, watch it, treasure it......and remember to pass it to your children.
