Vixo S @vixo_six Jun 10 Blood Tea and Red String feels less like a traditional narrative than a dark fairy tale remembered through dream logic. Christiane Cegavske builds a silent stop motion world where desire, creation and possession become fragile forms of pain. The film works because it asks to be felt more than solved. Its slow rhythm, fixed gazes and patient movements turn time into part of the emotional texture. Without dialogue, bodies, objects and gestures carry meaning, making the experience intimate and unsettling. Mark Growden's music becomes the film's emotional voice, surrounding the images with nostalgia and unease. What makes the film linger is its understanding of love as something easily wounded by control. It suggests that creation eventually escapes its maker, and that to love also means accepting change. Delicate and cruel at once, the film remains like a red thread still felt after it disappears. See more g j @RT02395222 Dec 20 Visually engaging, but that just isn't enough here. This is a series of surrealist vignettes that would be more impactful taken as individual short clips or music videos. Viewed as a whole, this barely qualifies as a film. See more R E @RT57366722 06/06/2023 One star because I like silent storytelling and the technique, and even that's being generous. I'm not sure what exactly you have to be or what you have to come from to get such praise for mediocre animation and production value. Just because someone spends over a decade making something of student film quality doesn't qualify it as a great feat of animation. See more Voodoo V @RT54486871 05/26/2023 I Loved it! A surreal adventure well worth the watch! See more 09/12/2021 A surreal fairy tale full of whimsy and darkness. Dreamlike and mysterious, with beauty in every lovingly hand-crafted frame. See more 08/10/2020 Menudo viaje psicodélico he vuelto a vivir con BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING, una mezcla bastante macabra entre Alicia y Blancanieves donde un grupo de ratas bebedoras de sangre raptan a una muñeca de porcelana que previamente ha sido creada e incubada por unas alimañas. Una locura. See more Read all reviews
