Animation for adults - Skhizein (2008) - A Short film


This isn't going to be much of a review, but more of a recommendation/plea for you readers to find and watch this absolutely amazing French animated short film called Skhizein by Jeremy Clapin.
Skhizein is about Henry, a man who is one day struck by a 150 ton meteorite and the bizarre effect it has on his life.



Beautifully animated, Skhizein starts out as a surreal comedy and ends up being a beautiful, thought-provoking and moving work of art. This is one of the best short films I have ever seen, even surpassing the short films of Pixar.
You can find the movie here.
