Ink

Kyn showed me this movie the other night, and I liked it enough, and it's poorly known enough, that I want to suggest it here. It's a beautiful, thoughtful, extremely artistic film, and beyond that it's a sci-fi action sort of confection independently made on an nonexistent budget, which is pretty cool. It manages to be both very dark and basically a happy movie, which is another cute trick, and plays with tropes in interesting ways.

Mmmmmm. That was elegant.

Waste not, want not.

Yeah, Ink was good. I thought the story fell down a bit in some ways, but the creature design and overall ambiance of the piece made up for its shortcomings.

Yeah, there were definite shortcomings...it felt a little too sweet for me in places, mostly...but I liked it lots and lots. Such quantities of pretty.
