http://torontoafterdark.com Twisted Animated Fairytale. Screens at Toronto After Dark Film Festival, 8 Nights of Horror, Sci-Fi, Action and Cult Films this Oct 17-24, 2008.

IDIOTS & ANGELS
"A darkly humorous approach to the classic struggle between good and evil" - Time Out
Bill Plympton, USA, Toronto Premiere
In this twisted animated fairy tale, with a David Lynchian flavour, a morally despicable man discovers angel wings growing out of his back. After our anti-hero uses his new found power of flight for dastardly deeds the wings seem to develop a life of their own. Affecting every aspect of his daily life, a dark, disturbing and frequently hilarious war between man and wings ensues. From the warped mind of celebrated animator and Double Oscar Nominee Bill Plympton, featuring a soundtrack by Tom Waits.
Winner, Best Animation - Fantasia Film Festival.

@hangdfswe we should also have some sort of literacy test before we let people comment on videos.

[Mandavasa]

Its so fucking art and so few people will watch it.

So sad

[walkintall29]

most boring 2 mins of my life. FAIL

[MrBlaziner]

this is one of those things that looks like its art so people call it art.

[Kersey475]

I always hated incomprehensible "artsy" films.

Now I'm not some movie critic. THe movie is good, but the reason, movies like this, will never, and I mean never will be viewed by a lot of people is because it so fucking boring. I mean it's cool to watch if you've got patience, but sometimes you just feel like you want to turn the motherfucker off.

@runingwolflexan Actually the people who make this (well actually it was one guy), did it for the art. There is not much commercial success to be had from something like this.

For people who have seen the film; is there a narrative or is it entirely experimental? Just curious.
