Oh Jesus
2017 Adults 4 min
by Betina Bożek
Animated film called oh God is a picture presenting the world observed and created by the author. The reality presented in the film might be described using such terms like inertia, chaos. Animated characters are characterized by a lack of willingness to take any action, are passive and indifferent, unable to create their own reality. The author presents a world that loses its original shapes, loses its identity. Groaning “oh God” as a main theme combines it all, meaning the combination of grimace, sigh, and a quiet whisper of despair over our own impotence.
