Éclosion is a French Animated film directed, written and animated by French conceptual artist Jérôme Boulbès, that transports us to an indefinite place in time and space where there is a matting gathering of stone "beings".
This is one of the most incredible short animated films I have seen lately. It is difficult to explain why such an abstract clip is so engaging and thought-provoking, so full of energy and mystery. It's not only well drawn and spectacularly animated, but it has a very enigmatic atmosphere and energy. At watching it, I thought of those energies that create and keep together different elements in a conglomerated rock, the way some geological elements bond and conglomerate forming almost unbreakable rocks. However, this is not a lesson in Geology, it is a minimalist piece in which cubical animated stones gather and mate following indescribable energies that attract or reject a stone cube to each other. It is a courtship dance, in a way. It doesn't matter if the events happen in a sci-fi planet or in a fantasy world, in the present of the past. One wonders, why this is happening and what brings the different elements together. What are those energies that we see in the story and what is coming.
I found amazing that Boulbès was able to create so much with so little elements because, the story not having a main character, cute or hate-able, to which pin the viewer's attention, this has to have a specific powerful visual narrative, sound, music and magic to keep us watching.
The film is elegantly minimalist, energetic and powerful and the interpretation options are wide. Therefore, it will satisfy any inquisitive mind and animation lover looking for something new.
A mesmerizing conceptual short film from the point of view of conception, realization and cinematic narrative. Not for everybody, as it is very abstract.
