Dazzle 1989
This puppet animation is set in a time when darkness still reigned when people were still afraid of what lay beyond the stillness of the night. In the evening, a husband leaves the house with a guilty look on his face, and his wife, feeling something, gently sends him off. The wife notices a shadow on the shoji and chases after it, but what she sees are the creatures of the underworld... The house and the townscape are so elaborate and emotional that we forget that they are models. The house and the town are so elaborate and emotionally rich that we forget that they are models, and the dolls, moving with an awkward rhythm, play out the drama of a mysterious and violent woman in a gentle manner.
