Created solely by Max Hendrickson, The Oubliette is extremely impressive for a single-person production. Die Kombination aus 2D-Animation und 3D-Animation verleihen diesem Kurzfilm einen einzigartigen Stil. Auch das Sounddesign ist fantastisch und hilft dem Zuschauer, in die Welt einzutauchen, trotz des Fehlens jeglichen Dialogs. Diese Aspekte wirken zusammen und vermitteln eine einsame und bedrückende Stimmung, which allows viewers to understand that the city the protagonist finds himself in is no paradise.

Noch, with all that being said in regards to The Oubliette’s amazing mise-en-scene, I struggle to derive concrete meaning from the film. The audience is not given any direct information for why anything that happens, happens. Zusamenfassend, it is extremely vague. For me personally, there is very little I can analyze when it comes to the film’s meaning or message. I have watched it multiple times and I have been unable to come up with any more specific interpretations than I did the first time I watched it.

Perhaps this short film means more to others who have been in a similar situation as the protagonist. Perhaps there is some cultural significance to the film. Perhaps I haven’t dug deep enough to find the film’s most elusive secrets. Or perhaps the film was made just for the sake of the animator practicing a different style of animation or showing off his incredible skills. Wenn ja, fair enough. Aber, a lack of meaning in a film’s story can severely mitigate the impact it leaves on general audiences. Leider, Ich glaube nicht, The Oubliette will leave much of an impression on people like me.

Ich gebe The Oubliette ein 3 von 5.
