What makes it different from others?
One of the worst movies I've ever seen
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Grandmother's Encyclopedia (1963) *** (out of 4) Another interesting animated short from Borowczyk with this one showing three things from the first three letters of the alphabet. I'm really not sure of the history behind this film or if it was originally meant to be a series of films but apparently this was the only one completed. The film runs just over six minutes with the majority of the running time dealing with an automobile and a balloon. Both sequences are very entertaining and the director's imagination is all over the place as this is certainly some of the most unique animation that I've seen. There really aren't any laughs or drama but instead just a real treat for the eyes. Full title: Encyclopédie de grand-maman, L' .
