Bereamic Awesome Movie
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
MartinHafer Like Bruno Bozzetto's other films, the graphics of this short are definitely not the reason to watch. Graphically, it's very simple--with slightly squiggly lines and a hastily drawn appearance. However, despite not being the prettiest film (with a strong 1970s style), it is quite funny and well worth seeing.The film is all about mosquitoes all trying to bite people and drink blood--a rather simple concept that Bozzetto and his staff all managed to milk for all its worth (and then some). Sure, the film goes on a bit too long, but because there is so much funny stuff, you don't mind the excess. Again and again, the bugs fail in their quest until later in the film--then things get a bit weird. I loved the scene late in the film when the mosquitoes are all in church--praying fervently. It's all very cute.The only complaint I have is that this cartoon (and one other I saw recently) didn't do its homework--male mosquitoes are not blood suckers--only the females. Oops.
