Sinopsis
A mix of black-and-white drawings, basic stop-motion, film and photo inserts, a detached narration and a very inventive soundtrack, Hertzfeldt's feature debut surrounds its troubled hero, Bill, with a droll cosmology, in which eccentric, everyday detail shares protagonism with reminders of our place in the universe. The results are funny, affecting and very personal.
