As mentioned in the shorts post<\/a>, Bill Plympton came to town, presenting his feature Cheatin’<\/em>. I’ve always loved his work, but from vague memories of The Tune<\/em> and I Married a Strange Person<\/em> I’ve assumed his shorts to be far above the features. This week changed everything, as I caught up with the great Idiots and Angels<\/em> on DVD and saw the beautiful Cheatin’<\/em> on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Cheatin’<\/em> (2013)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I memorized the trailer, and rest of the movie did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

Sure there’s a lot of cheatin’, but it’s all based on a terrible misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

Bought on blu-ray, so will watch again and write more (with screenshots).<\/p>\n

\nIdiots and Angels<\/em> (2008)<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, any movie that uses “Kommienezuspadt” by Tom Waits is alright by me. Stylish as ever, a scribble-noir in shades of brown and gray with flashbacks and imagination sequences and inventive transitions – and no spoken dialogue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of story that calls for animation. Bitter gun salesman wastes his evenings at a lonely bar until he starts growing angel wings. He’d like to get rid of the do-gooder, perpetually re-growing wings, and the man’s doctor and greedy bartender would like the wings for themselves. There’s a shooting, a resurrection, a spate of pub bombings, argument over a girl, and crazy bird dreams.<\/p>\n
