Well, tonight I said it was about time I got back to Undone, on Amazon Prime. This is an animated series about a young woman who, after a car crash, experiences a weird new reality.. Animation, of course, makes it a lot easier for the creators to realise their vision, here.
It's quite cool animation - rotoscoping is used, which is the tracing of live-action video, to give a more realistic effect. The acting is good, the lead character personable - and the plot is pleasantly weird. I'm guessing it's all a dramatisation of the mind of someone with schizophrenia, but it's very clever, and there is a plot involving her dad's death, which he's tasked her with solving. She learns to distort reality by shifting back and forth through time..
And so, tonight, I finally got back to Episode 8. Where, wow, things really hit the proverbial! Some questions are answered, more are raised - and it ends on a real cliffhanger; as you'd expect, she's starting to wonder whether this is actually all in her head, and then she sees something..
So, I was well ready to continue the story. And wouldn't you know it, this is - of course - the last episode in the season. And - you've guessed it - the next season ISN'T FILMED YET! Ugh. I am going to have so much to catch up on, towards the end of the year, with all these different series..
For tomorrow, the best is looking like another Sands Films offering. Their latest showing was The War You Don't See, a documentary on war propaganda, written and co-directed by John Pilger. Right down my alley.
And next Saturday - wow, at last, Meetup is running things early enough in the day for me again! Up in the Cheap Seats is watching a couple of contemporary dance shows by Grupo Corpo - Bach and Lecuona, each streaming on Vimeo and available to rent for 48 hours for £3.95. So I've signed up - will rent closer to the time, and we'll be chatting about them next Saturday. Phew, it'll be great to see these folks again, it's been ages!
