A powerful animated short about a woman's effort to avenge her besieged city. Using a primitive, cave drawing-like, animation style with live action archival footage mixed in, gives a raw feeling to the barebones film. The narrative is a bit chaotic, and with no dialog or narration it took a bit of effort to get my bearings on what exactly was happening. The primary motif is a violent mix of explicit sex and even more explicit gore. By the end the message is clear, culminating in a jarring resolution. When forced into a corner, people will do anything to seek revenge. The short is certainly dark, but the underlying message certainly leaves an impression. 13 years 8 months ago
