New Film: Only Love
|
'Only Love' is a tragicomedy about a Dictator, a Rebel, and Love. It is a darkly humorous tale of a dictator facing the ghosts of his past misdeeds, a man's eternal search for love, and the terrible price one sometimes has to pay for it. Brimming with nonstop creative energy, this traditionally animated short is a feast for the eyes and ears with beautifully painted backgrounds, outstanding orchestral score, and a story that will make you laugh and cry. |

2008 Woodstock Film Festival

"Only Love" has just premiered at Woodstock Film Festival. In a review at indieWIRE Eric Kohn wrote:
"... the marvelous animated short ... "Only Love", directed by School of Visual Arts student Lev Polyakov, uses a delightful 2-D visual approach to tell the darkly humorous, virtually wordless account of a dictator combating the ghosts of his past misdeeds. Wielding a style reminiscent of Bill Plympton -- but packed with far richer metaphor -- Polyakov proves the ongoing versatility of the 2-D format and announces his arrival as a fresh talent in the animation scene."
Thank you, Eric, I am very inspired by this review. I've always admired Bill Plympton's work, and the comparison is very flattering. Although, Bill is at the top of the mountain that I am just starting to climb.
