HENRY WALTZ - VISUAL TEASER from Emil Goodman on Vimeo.

The 27 year old Hungarian animator, better known for creating music videos and uber- quirky shorts (or ‘tests’ as he calls them), has made his first foray into feature length production. This surreal, darkly beautifully trailer does nothing to give any story away – indeed it’s more like one of his music videos or ‘tests’ with the narrative being as surreal as the ‘biomechanical shadow-puppet’ animation.

There is something very captivating about this monochrome blending of Russian constructivism, eastern shadow puppetry, Meccano and insects parts, with more than a little nod towards Frits Lang’s dystopian visions in his 1927 movie Metropolis. It’s an Eclectic and disquieting dream-like vision of the future as envisioned by the occupant of a 1920s asylum.
