Head Over Heels

This film is apparently a little strange because a old couple lives together but they exist in different grounds. One is in the ceiling, the other is in the floor from one sight. It is hard to imagine that situation. Why are they under the condition? I think that it shows gap between the old man and woman is built. It seems that they are at each other's throats because they do not talk with each other and they try to set the picture on the part of themselves. However what is came out in the picture is their marriage and they smile and look happy. That is to say, both still love each other somehow. Then the old man makes the point to make up and finally be reconciled. As the married life lasts long, I think it is natural that a gulf emerges between couple, but the memorial items remind them of what is really important. This short movie just tells the audience it.

I won't say much about the details of the short, because it should be seen fresh.

But without giving too much away, the story is an inventive exploration of the relationship between a husband and wife who have grown apart.

This short does what it should do, which is tell a story that isn't boring. And it does it far better than the other Oscar-nominated animated shorts this year. It's no contest.

Although it's a different style, if you liked Pete Docter's Up from 2009, you'll like this. The setting is similarly absurd, floating (sort of) is involved, and it's about long love.

This story is amazing. Not only its plot or scenario but also the depictions are fantastic even though my eyes are sometimes dazzled because I am confused about which is the real floor and ceiling.

How an old woman and an old man interact with the house as opposed to each other definitely attracts us. I like the change of their relationship, especially, because it was very emotionally deep and thought-provoking.

I've never seen such a strange and wonderful animation style. It breaks the original animation technique!

I hadn't been able to understand what the title means until the end of the story. I really respect the filmmaker's creativity.

This is a short movie. This movie is described as animated films. The main characters are a husband and wife. They live in the same house, but one lives on the floor and the other lives on the ceiling while changing the position of up and down. At first they are indifferent to each daily life because of losing love. However, they change my mind toward family relationship through momento. I believe that this movie stand for contemporary Japan society. So, If you strongly want to feel family bond, you should watch this movie.

A lovely short film about couple life. the husband. the wife. a house. and many shoes. its realism, sweet, nice, bitter and amusing in same measure, represents the lead virtue. not for great clay animation. but for a story familiar for a large public. a film about ordinary everyy day life. and a parable. interesting for the emotions. for the levels of a long life together. for the forms of delicacy. and for a kind of...spell. short, a clear "must see".
