The Monk and the Fish (Moine et le poisson, Le) is an animated short film made by Michaël Dudok De Wit in 1994. It was nominated for Oscar, BAFTA Film Award for Best short animated film and won 3 others.
* The film was made using a cel animation technique; nowadays cel animation is often assisted by computers, but this has been made in the traditional way using brush, Indian ink, and watercolour.
* The specially created music score, by Serge Besset, is based on La Follia by Corelli.

Give a monk a fish and he'll eat for a day...

Some people read books backwards.
Dudok De Wit is a weird name.

I'm guessing the trippiness at the end is religious commentary on monks chasing the divine?
