This is a rumination on the nature of everything as seen through the experience of a stuffed Kurt Vonnegut. He's his own words, or at least that's what it feels like. Nothing in this short seems to fall outside of him, and while that could have gone terribly wrong, here it was super-powered perfection! Aleksandr Kirienko's eye for both the message of Vonnegut, and his ability to make a story worth watching out of it, makes this a picture for the ages!
This film had several unfair advantages. 1) It's about Kurt Vonnegut, arguably the author who has made more effect on me than any other. 2) It's Russian, and I've got a thing for Russian film. 3) It's a super-thinker film that raises questions and gives answers, but the two are not necessarily related. 4) It's so very very very well done. and 5) Stuffies.
