MIFF entry 2

Went to two MIFF films today: Listen Up Philip by Alex Ross Perry and an animated film Cheatin’ by Bill Plympton

Both were fantastic and absolutely hilarious!

Highly recommend if the opportunity arises!


Listen Up Philip: miserable, lonely, desperate characters so blatantly put on screen, its sad honesty is its funniest quality.


Cheatin’Abstract emotions were brilliantly captured by bizzare scenes. Plympton’s animation was surreal, clever, and not exactly subtle. A journey that left the theater with me since. Part of me is still in that world. 

Thought I do have to say, not a big fan of the Kino theater.
