Ryan

Chris Landreth
2004 | 13 min
Ce film s'inspire de la vie de Ryan Larkin, un animateur canadien qui, il y a trente ans, a réalisé à l'Office national du film certaines des œuvres d'animation les plus marquantes de son époque.

Ryan fait entendre la voix de ce dernier et celles de gens qui l'ont connu par l'entremise d'étranges personnages en 3D, tordus, brisés et désarticulés... des personnages dont les allures bizarres, humoristiques ou simplement troublantes reflètent l'univers psycho-réaliste de Chris Landreth.
