Review of Idiots and Angels (2008) by Andrew L — 24 Apr 2010
Idiots and Angels is a beautiful animation with striking imagery and a unique ability to change its tone and message in a heartbeat. What starts off as a comment on banality turns into a noir thriller then transforms into a morality tale before surging head on into romance.
It's also a superhero film and also a comedy. Just as the animation morphs with wildly inventive transitions so does the story and pace. Plymton has an excellent eye for imaginative and outrageous imagery and often one is uncertain if what we are seeing is really happening or just in the characters mind.
The soundtrack as well as the visuals has a lot to do, essentially making up one half of the experience and it just shines with some great choices of both classical and contemporary pieces.
