Review of Ryan

Ryan (2004)
10/10
A slice of raw life.
5 September 2005
This animation is an orgy between creativity and imagination. You have to understand that this is a documentary about Ryan Larkin, A Canadian who pioneered animated drawings in the late 1960's but fell from that status. So, it is a documentary about the fall of an artist, a pioneering animator, by an animator, through animation. It is a view of life at its rawest. I think it would be interesting for this "psycho-realism" style to be explored more as a movie theme. For example, I think this could have an interesting effect on a movie with a theme similar to Artificial Intelligence. I was hoping AI by Spielberg would be a little more sinister or deep. That show fell flat on its ass. So, if Chris Landreth could hook up with some very creative, twisted writers, I could see this style becoming a new genre of movies. Enough of the same old, same old...
