BROKEN DOWN FILM

Directed by Osamu Tezuka
Japan, 1985
Animation, Short, Comedy

Synopsis

A string of gags based on 20s-style animation and the self-reflexiveness of Windsor McCay’s surreal comic strips from the same period. While the gags are familiar, the extent to which Tezuka pushes the medium’s break-down is quite extreme.
