Not sure if this one is technically part of our Brexit coverage -- but in case
you're still wondering what mindset it requires for anyone in the UK to think
that leaving the EU is a great idea, then you're going to leave this screening
not just with an entirely plausible answer, but most likely with a couple of
even more troubling questions. Still, Phil Mulloy's animated series The
Christies is more than just a portrait of a hopelessly psychopathic English
family. Throughout his work, Mulloy is trying to find out is how simple his
visual style and sound design has to become so that he retains full artistic
autonomy (can keep working without professional animators, voice actors etc.)
-- and the result is a radically minimalist, at times truly avantgardistic
approach to animation that will make The Simpsons or South Park look utterly
baroque in comparison. Of course, The Christies are at least as funny as those
two combined, but the specific type of humor that Mulloy employs remains just
as minimalist as his drawing style, and other than maybe a distant echo of
early 1980s UK post-punk nihilism, there nothing even remotely British about it.
