A Quoi Ca Sert L’amour? (Perils of Love)

Yes, another short film on love. But, believe me, A Quoi Ca Sert L’amour? (Perils of Love) is well worth the four minutes. This wonderful short follows the ups and downs of a young couple. Even though I’m not completely convinced of all its erratic turn of events, I can’t help but love it anyway. Not at all different from the real thing.

This is a beautifully animated film that uses a clever combination of rough 2D ink drawings and some exhilarating 3D environments (the action shots are superb). The result is a great piece of cinema with sharp, cinematic movement and clean cut editing that makes Hollywood jealous.
