Full Plot Details

Chris Landreth introduces himself to us in a funky restroom and then introduces the film's subject, Ryan Larkin, a brilliant animator in the 1960s and early 1970s. Chris shows us clips of "Walking" and "Street Musique," Ryan's ground-breaking shorts. We now see Ryan as he is: emaciated, alcoholic, much of his mind gone; we meet Felicity Fanjoy, his love during his creative period, and Derek Lamb, his producer. Ryan talks to Chris in the dining hall of what is probably a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Chris tries an intervention. We follow Ryan out into the street where he panhandles. The animation, which uses live footage, reveals the ravaged burned-out graceful man.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Colin HBeautiful! A great short film (under 30 minutes I'd say) about a former National Film Board of Canada first-rate animator who is now a homeless man in Montreal. This was clearly a tough film to make for the current NFB animator, and he does some navel-gazing in it. My friend thought it was depressing, but I think it's beautiful.
User Review - 10/10 by Gustavo EWow, once again the NFB has out did themselves... this movie was inspiring and up close and personal with the character/subject.. I wish i hadnt waited this long to see it!!
User Review - 10/10 by Josef HA great use of animation and 3D to show subject matter, the characters' feelings, and their state of being. Truly outstanding! A tribute to Ryan Larkin.
User Review - 10/10 by Peter BWicked! Though the animation is a tad offbeat, I find it a rather compelling film.
User Review - 10/10 by Philip SAn outstanding achievement in animation and experimental storytelling. Half surreal, moving painting - half documentary, this short film explores the turbulent career or one of animation's most conflicted visionaries. It blew away audiences at SIGGRAPH when it was released in 2004 and I was blown away also. Stunning visual impressions and 3D innovations make this contemporary work one of the most original and breathtaking animations I have ever seen. No doubt, it will become dated as the years go by, but for the time it was released, this film expanded what artists and film connoisseurs alike had considered possible within the modern idiom of animation filmmaking
User Review - 10/10 by Joel GAstounding on its own, but along with all the other material on the dvd (films and commentary by each otf the two animators, plus a doc about the making of this one) becomes a profound, endlessly fascinating hall-of-mirrors study about art and its responsibility among many other things.
User Review - 10/10 by Brian GDirected by Chris Landreth not by Laurence Green.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael JI can't begin to explain how heartbreaking of a film this is...an artist's worst nightmare of failure.
User Review - 10/10 by Karen HHeartbreakingly beautiful. Chris Landreth's animated homage to Ryan Larkin, gifted Canadian animator (RT = 14mins, not 94mins).
User Review - 10/10 by Kimberly HI've never seen anything so creative...it's pure genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!
