I saw this today in art class and this is such a touching story...and I think that if this animation were in anything BUT 3-D it wouldn't have had the same impact.

i hate this, im sorry, yeah 100% on the animation skill, but, it doesnt have the spirit that giacometti gave off, and yeah you tried but if your going to post something of importance up here, please make sure its captured the one thing that creates some one which giacometti in my opinion had a great deal of.
why, because you disagree? I'm talking about very tender subject matter being raped by someone trying to display their technical competance... Giacometti was existential (at a time when that word had some currency) - this film is simply melodramatic.
but you are just being very judgemental. why not give the credit where it belongs? this film has the right ingredients for everything - technical, artistic and emotional. it is a great piece of film-making and yes, though being melodramatic, it comes across as even more profound and leaves a lasting impact. i was almost in tears when i saw this.
turning Giacometti into a superficial caricature makes me feel on the sorrowful side. it's like turning a novel into a limeric. there was a wonderful documentary made by David Sylvester... hopefully someone will post that here someday.
Yep, the Hollywood score, the swooping "camera" shots, where's the subtlety? I feel like buzz lightyear is going to fly in and knock over one of his sculptures.
david sylvester is brilliant, in looking back at francis bacon he shows how both the artists have similaraties in the originality, amazing. in manchester gallery, they have a giacometti peice right next to a bacon peice, and both are really really strong and so distinctive to the rest of the gallery.
I agree! So similar, but so strikingly different... I love the interview where Sylvester ask Giacometti "who is more ambitious- you or Francis Bacon?" a very intense moment!
Nevertheless, it's still a phenomenonal work of art compared to many animations out there. I personally don't know who Giacometti is, but I definitely appreciate the style of "Eternal Gaze."
I love it

My art teacher showed me this- we started project work on Alberto Giacometti. I feel the soul of him in this short - I was in tears by the end.

i am sorry but you don't seem to have the slightest idea about film-making and storytelling with a passion :)

this is a pitiful travesty. whoever made it has no understanding of Giacometti's work.
