MAYBE ELEPHANT has animator Torill Kove continuing the story of her family. This time it’s the story of how her parents eventually essentially abandoning her and her sisters.
This is another winner from Kove. As always she uses animation not for cute and cuddly characters but because the medium allows her to do things that would never work in a live action film (one of the final images has Kove and her sister wandering across maps of their own making.) It’s a stunning film that doesn’t conform to the way we think life should go, but more toward the weird turns that life actually takes.
I really liked this film a great deal.
If you are on the West Coast of America you have three opportunities to see it at Newport Beach Film Festival, , Animation Is Film and AFI FEST
