Watch: An Animated Existential Musical – ‘The Burden’ from Sweden

"I don't demand much, my life is drifting away..." If you'd like to prevent your life from drifting away, you need to stop and take 14 minutes to enjoy this. You won't be the same after. The Burden is a Swedish stop-motion animated short film musical from filmmaker Niki Lindroth von Bahr. It originally premiered back in 2017 and played at almost every major festival - Cannes, TIFF, Sundance, Annecy, Fantastic Fest, and many others. If you haven't seen it yet, well what are you waiting for? A dark musical enacted in a modern market place, situated next to a large freeway. The employees of the various commercial venues deal with boredom and existential anxiety by performing cheerful musical turns. The apocalypse is a tempting liberator. In this comically acerbic musical epic, the animal occupants of a generic shopping plaza next to a freeway sing out their existential angst — doomed by the apocalyptic banality of subsistence in the modern age. How magical. With the voices of Carl Englén, Olof Wretling, Sven Björklund, Mattias Fransson. Click play below. Thanks to Vimeo ...

Crazy Trailer for Russian Superhero Sequel ‘Major Grom: The Game’

Here's another unwanted sequel to a movie no one saw that doesn't look very good... An official trailer has debuted for Major Grom: The Game, a Russian comic book movie from director Oleg Trofim. This is a sequel to the 2021 comic book movie Major Grom: Plague Doctor, a big budget production in Russia about a famous superhero. In this sequel, a year has passed since the defeat of the Plague Doctor, and Igor Grom has become a hero for the whole city. But now he is waiting for a fight with a new supervillain. His perfect police life in St. Petersburg is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious villain calling himself Ghost (or "The Phantom"). He asks him to play a dangerous game, the stakes being the lives of ordinary people. Well, that doesn't sound very fun! This stars Tikhon Zhiznevskiy as Grom, with Alexander Seteykin, Lyubov Aksyonova, Aleksey Maklakov, Olga Sutulova, Matvey Lykov, and Andrey Trushin. Alas, none of the footage from this trailer looks any good, even the first Plague Doctor movie looked better than this ...
