This amazing, 14 minute animated film made in the Netherlands uses overlapping layers of black and white woodcut-styled detailed renderings, rotoscope-like movement and a grainy, missing frame, silent film like presentation. It floats between a ghostly grave digging-cart pushing figure, a tavern owner and a prostitute, all floundering in a empty city on a desolate island that seems "abandoned by God" and "entangled in the devil's nets." A slow, acoustic, folksy waltz-like story song is sung intermittently throughout the course of the film and provides a sort of macabre poetic narration. The mesmerizing animation is spooky, lush, breathtaking and probably exactly-unlike anything you've seen before. Sometimes shows on the Sundance Channel.
