Memorable

2019 ‘Mémorable’ Directed by Bruno Collet

Recently, Louis, painter, and his wife Michelle experience strange events. The universe around them seems to be changing. Slowly, furniture, objects, people lose their realism. They are breaking apart, sometimes disintegrating.

NOMINEE- Oscars, short animation.
Beautiful animation with a touching story. There is nothing more scary to me than losing my mind. I would probably vote for this among the four nominees that I have seen.

Probably the most beautiful animated movie I’ve ever seen, I was absolutely blown away by the visuals.
Review by Angeles ✨ ★★★★★ 1

This is one of the best short films I've ever seen. The animation was so engaging and wonderfully made. It deals with Alzheimer and how the protagonist slowly loses his mind and feels disoriented, and how this condition progresses and worsens over time.
Maybe my favorite part of it all was watching how the style of the animation changed, how it all looked more deteriorated to symbolize the man's own mind deterioration.
Memorable it's so beautiful but heartbraking.
Watch it here.
Review by Logan ★★★★

This film tackles dementia in a way only animation could do, slowly turning everything around the main character into a abstract, Van Gogh inspired blur. It's often edited in a very disorienting way and it's unclear at points what's going on but I feel like that's largely intentional to put you in this headspace. The stop motion animation was breathtaking and unique, the story was heartbreaking, especially that ending. It's very good

My fave of the Oscar shorts
Review by Fred Kolb ★★★★★

“Memorable” struck a similar chord to the equally moving “Late Afternoon” from last year’s selection of Oscar nominated animated shorts. But while that one revolved around an elderly lady with dementia struggling to recall her past, this one is more about the misshapen perception that befalls patients suffering from Alzheimer’s. And especially how the images might take shape through the eyes of a painter. Bruno Collet’s characters, painstakingly sculpted clay puppets with increasingly distorted features, are barely recognizable to the man whose brain is slipping away from him. Louis and his wife are trying to cope as best as they can, but he is increasingly unable to recognize even basic objects, is startled to 'learn' that his long dead mother-in-law…
Review by Natalie Portman Cries ★★★½

It's unfortunate that this reminded me strongly of what may be my favorite animated short ever, Chris Landreth's Ryan and also came last in a slew of Oscar Nominated shorts centered on illness. I think if this ended before the Van Gogh references became more overt and showy, Memorable could have amounted to more for me. The other option would have been for the entire short to consist of that dance with his wife. Regardless, the painterly animation over the puppets was stunning,
Review by JoshJurnovoy ★★½

Seemed like it was trying to evoke last year's live action shorts by serving no other purpose than depressing the audience.
