Original Title:

Phil Mulloy: Extreme Animation

For proof that animation is indeed an adult affair, look no further than the work of Phil Mulloy. His inky black figures inhabit a bleak, violent, near-suicidal world.

Whether he's creating modern parables or poems to despair (the magnificent Sound Of Music), Mulloyís monochrome lines are often broken only by a splash of blood red. This collection gathers together 24 of his films over two-and-a-half hours.
