BABY ANGER

Caroline Poggi, Jonathan Vinel
Franța/ Italia
13 min.

In this ineffable short gem, an abandoned baby ruminates on the edge of the decadent contemporary world, hopping around buildings and clouds, in a scenery that has never mirrored it.  Is there anything left to uncover or love in this world except for discovering food recipes?

​​At its core, “Baby Anger” is a manifestation of a supreme existential angst and paradoxicality, a CGI animated child thrown into the real world, only to discover that his Pixar otherness makes him something of an oddity, a gloomy tool. Jonathan Vinel and Caroline Poggi make things seem just a bit less catastrophic – this baby is leading a raging punk revolution, but the world doesn’t care to notice it. This melange of real footage and CGI images is where this film allows itself to bloom and simultaneously revitalize experimental animation, taking it onto a meta-cinematic terrain (Bébé Colère looks strikingly similar to Vinel, and Vinel and Poggi also play the child’s parents). Its very peak? A crepuscular, elegiac superimposed image of the child absorbing all the light of the dusk. (Georgiana Mușat)

CHUTE

Nora Longatti | Durata 20'
