Director: Ikko Ono
A 1000 Anime Crossover
Abstract Spectrum: Psychotronic/Surreal
Abstract Rating (High/Medium/Low/None): Medium
One of the more curious (and
obscurest) works I've covered on this blog or on 1000 Anime. A near hour long
film made entirely from 8-bit technology of a Japanese videogame console called
the MSX, The Flying Luna Clip is an
inherently strange creation, the limited animation and vibrant, bit colour in
elaborate detail already creating a fascinating tone before you get to the
actual content. A trip both in plot and effect - whose passengers include
snowmen, and anthropomorphic fruit and plants, flying in a plane boat around
the Hawaiian Pacific whilst also experiencing dreams that the viewer also
experience. The result is a haze with a tentative narrative, more a series of
scenes and incidents, even a musical number with singing volcanoes, but one
which for the most part is so innocuous and charming I felt love for it as a creation.
And its definitely strange. The actual existence of the
film and how it was made, alongside its obscurity, adds to its weirdness but
there's legitimate oddness on display that can only be described as pop
surrealism, a kind that is constantly found in Japanese culture but, far from
something to trivialise into the crass "weird Japan" term feels so
much more sweet on multiple viewings. For the full review, follow the link HERE.
