    Kirpianuscus

    admirable

    A beautiful version of Melville classic using stop motion animation. The accounter is the best virtue of this short film and the young Bartleby reminds, in beautiful way, a character of Franz Kafka ( or just himself ).

    The basic problem - the high need to know the short story inspiring it.

    The good virtue - the details , from the bust to the cat painting.

    And, not last, the solution, inspired one at whole, for the form of dialogue. In short, just seductive, admirable in high measure, short animation, for some reasons, pleasant to delightful . But , more important, just smart, gentle and precise, poetic and deserving be real loved.
