Get Happy, Get Bliss

Get Happy, Get Bliss

If you don’t have time to watch Modern Times, Citizen Kane, Brazil, The Wall, E.T., the Australian satire Bliss, Office Space and The Matrix, then steal a few moments to watch More, the stop-motion-animated film that captures the message of those films with the density and essentialness of a zen koan.  In the age of time compression, look for this as the trend of future filmmaking:  two years to make a six-minute masterpiece that is itself a condensation of 70 years of filmmaking.
