New Film Profile - The Itch, by Joe Green
 |
We’ve posted a new film profile at AnimWatch - The Itch, by Joe Green.
The Itch is a fun little piece that puts across a simple idea in a simple way that actually resonates at a deeper level. The Itch is an Annoying Persistent Presence, standing equally well for an obnoxious acquaintance that won’t go away, or a sickness you can’t shake, or a compulsive behavior or addiction, or even age. I think that’s the beauty of the film’s approach, both visually and thematically. Green didn’t concern himself with modelling every pebble in his world, and he didn’t concern himself with tying his story up in a neat little bow. It’s one of those films the audience can relate to on a variety of levels.
