Review of Plaster of Paris

Plaster of Paris is an original film by Cora Clifford. The cut out animation is stunning. In my opinion, cut out animation is not normally pretty looking. However, there are other animators who know how to make appealing cut out animation films. Some of the best cut out animation films that compare to Plaster of Paris is Cora's other film "Hot Fever" and "My Dear Cousin Belinda." I really like the plot. Plaster of Paris is based on a book series by Cora Clifford. I think this book was based on "Kiss Me Goodbye." The plot of the film is that Sarah dated Elian but discovered that Elian is not the boy she actually fell in love. Elian was stalking Sarah but Elian is oddly sympathetic. Francis Mc Allen is an insecure, blonde girl who wants to be a cheerleader but she lacks the money to fit in with the richer kids at school. Francis Mc Allen becomes a call girl and then when she has money, she is welcomed into the middle class and rich crowd at school. Francis, in my opinion, is the prettiest character in the film. I thought this was a daring film for Cora to make. The cut out animation is a welcome change because traditional animation (i.e., Disney style) is normally used in animated films.
