Product: Blood Tea and Red String (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Beautiful, technically exquisite animation at last!
The first time I saw this film was at an event in Portland,OR this year and was left stunned by it's intricacy. The movements created by this artist go beyond physical animations of the characters and scenery;details in the environment give off an eerie,emotional quality I have not yet seen or felt translated in a film done in this way. I was thrilled when my copy arrived and was able to revisit scenes that stuck in my head. The Oak Dwellers interested me the most the first time I watched this, being a seamstress myself, however a new favorite comes along with each viewing.This DVD is a work of art, right down to the extra features included with the film. The production notes and commentary Christiana Cegavske includes in the disc adds a lot to the watching and appreciating of Blood Tea and Red String-I definitely appreciated all the hard work and details this woman gave to the film and more so after watching the extras ( I LOVE those portraits of the White Mice :)
