Zagreb Films Josko Marusic, Riblje Oko

Josko Marusic represents the new breed of animators in Zagreb today, with ties to the old school. In this metaphor of how the normal order of things sometimes goes awry, one night the fish take over.

@misspeaches251 Great interpretation of the film, and also I would argue that the film pays close attention to the architecture and perspective of each frame, with sharp, acute angles that seem to jut out from every surface.

Ovaj film je trebao dobiti Oskara! bio je vrlo blizu, ali....sto možemo naučiti iz tog slučaja?

[misspeaches251]

Fascinating. First of all, every frame is designed like a Japanese Ukiyo-E woodblock print, using the negative space to create drama and incorporating an incredibly sophisticated rendering of detail and use of color. At the same time, the surreal and nightmarish quality of the piece is engrossing, and even in its implausibility the story is weirdly universal and compelling. The movement is hypnotic, the music works impeccably. So, yes, a masterpiece. What's not to love?

Masterpiece of course

Wow, wow, wow, the script is gorgeous

Top of the stairwell 3:00 mins in.

I don't agree ending is perfect: silent and terrifying. Masterpiece.

[Mazurka1001]

It needs the ending...otherwise pretty creepy tale.

I saw this film decades ago, when I was child. I never forgot about it, and now that I work with animation I was really sad that I couldn't, in any way, know about it (as a child you don't fixate on titles, director names or whatever)... Until today! I am a happier person thanks to you.

Cheers!
