Cruel, and utterly effective, Peter Foldes' experimentation with computer animation employs a bold speechless narrative to draw attention to the grave effects of consumerism. Who needs ethics when everything is within arm's reach?

Very good and quite disturbing

9/10

"This short, produced by the National Film Board of Canada, was nominated for an Academy Award. Once you've seen it, you'll see why. Not easily forgotten, although you may wish to. The choice of animation styles was made, I suspect, deliberately, in order to keep viewers off-balance. It's a perfect choice. A thought-provoking, extremely unsettling look at hunger in many forms. If you are easily disturbed or offended, this probably isn't for you. Otherwise, highly recommended...."
