good back-story, and good acting

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

When I first looked up "Au Bout Du Fil", I wasn't necessarily going to write a review for it. However, my feelings about the film are so at odds with the only written review for it, I think I'll throw in my two cents worth.The film is sponsored by the National Film Board of Canada--and agency that has often bankrolled some wonderful projects over the years. In this case, though, it looks like it's a project that wasn't fully funded, as much of the animation looks incomplete. Some parts have color, others do not--like they just didn't finish the pictures. It's all a bizarre stream of consciousness film--with spiders and weird creatures eating each other and doing stuff that is just baffling. It looks more like a project by a film student than a finished film. Worth seeing? Perhaps...if you are a HUGE animation buff or want to see what the indie animators of the 70s were doing.It's weird and unsavory but lacks a sense of humor.

This is a somewhat atypical short (if there is such a thing) produce by the National Film Board of Canada. The title is a reference to the string game called Cat's Cradle and the short is a moody and evocative work. One of Driessen's better works, it should be better known than it is at this point. Well worth hunting up. Recommended.
