STRAYS is an interesting and ambitious first feature film from British director Barnaby Miller, made through rotoscoping (animating over live action footage) and displaying Brechtian influences: S|T|R|A|Y|S <http://www.straysthefilm.com/>, described by its makers as “a living graphic novel,” portrays a cross section of contemporary Londoners dealing with the effects of financial crisis and austerity. The characters are at once individuals and social types – banker, minimum wage worker, businessman, petit bourgeouis entrepreneur, et cetera. They relate to each other through the microcosm of the local pub as well as through a web of relations; family ties, old friendships, romantic entanglements, job relations, all of which are deeply affected, and often strained beyond breaking point, by economic pressures and insecurity. http://filmint.nu/?p=25160 _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
