Animation Favorites from the National Film Board of Canada

One of the best animations shorts I have ever seen

Will Spoor and Fran Waller Zeper in Harpya (1979)

Edmund Meisel and Walter Ruttmann in Berlin: Symphony of Metropolis (1927)

Anne Wiazemsky in Au hasard Balthazar (1966)

Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung, Dean Shek, and Lung Ti in A Better Tomorrow II (1987)

Nikolay Gogol

A study in pins of a man who loses his nose which becomes a personality in its own right.

Expressions of Pain Well Crafted

First of all, the method of animation fits beautifully with the Nicolai Gogol story. A man loses his nose and suddenly his life turns upside down. He realizes he will never have a lady&apos;s love. People will mock him in the street. He is full of self loathing. He even contemplates suicide. The Russian authors are so full of darkness. When the man is given a second chance we are left to fend for ourselves as to the outcome. I was quite moved by this. I need to read the story again.
