5.0 out of 5 stars A strange and beautiful film, November 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Anima (DVD)

This is not your typical movie--taxidermy, nazis, and, most of all, a love story of an elderly married couple. Give it a try if you like European or unusual American films.

I bought this disk to have as a record of my participation in this film's creation. It was filmed entirely in Rhode Island and was a product of the Producer/Writer/Director's love of film. As with most small film productions, it did not achieve a wide release, but it has so many beautiful elements it deserves a wider audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars a real kick in the pants, June 24, 2008

This review is from: Anima (DVD)

this was one of the most beautiful, touching, sad, and infuriating movies ive ever seen. it basically makes you hate the american media so much more for ruining something so beautiful. its a story about an elderly couple living in a little microcosm in the middle of nowhere, totally self sufficiant and cut off from the rest of the world, but struggling to cope with their horrific past. their lifestyle is threatened by a nosey reporter who is trying to create a segment for his television show. i really dont want to give anything away just in case you decide to watch this movie, because its is just so good. it was one of the only movies that ihave ever seen that actually brought a tear to the corner of my eye. this movie is something else. i highly recommend it to anybody with an open mind and some depth of feeling.
