The Face Thief (Animated Short Film)

(Lilithia)
1 decade 2 months 2 weeks ago

io9: One night, a woman comes to a private detective and reveals that she is being pursued by a criminal who steals faces. But as the detective's hunt becomes more surreal, it becomes clear there's more to his quest than meets the eye.
El Ladrón de Caras (The Face Thief) was made by students at the PrimerFrame school of animation, and it manages to tell its story, including the sigh-inducing end, without dialogue.

Hmm...face thief is time or the loss of memory. The woman is trying to ensure the man can remember her face, her personhood, their shared memories, their past. Maybe the face thief is HIS act of forgetting. Almost like the animation serves as a metaphor for, what, Alzheimer or something? But he finally remembers at the end.

I'd give it 3/5
