The Power of Pop-Corn and Pop-Weed #1


SKHIZEIN by Jérémy Clapin (Dark Prince, 2008)

When a "150-ton meteorite", "not an Asteroid", crashes into a lonely man's life it might shift reality at the distance of "91 cm" from himself. The greek word "Skhizein" means "split" and is the root of the word "schizophrenia".
Every man lives on the verge of two parallel perspectives, into ourselves and in the society, through our own eyes and by the outside lens. But when a meteorite, "for God sake", breaks this balance...well, we don't know anymore who we are, either where we are. Who is the center of gravity of our happiness? Are insanity or reality measurable?
After "Une Histoire Vertebrale" - A Backbone Tale - (2004), another little gem on a 35mm format by the genius of the young french director Jérémy Clapin, with the amazing musics of Nicolas Martin, produced and distributed by Dark Prince. Winner of over 30 awards from all around the world, it's already considered a cult in the short animation genre.
