Town Called Panic, A

France 2009, 75 minutes
Dir. Stéphane Aubier, Vincent Patar
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Cult, Comedy / Animation

Aroview: Delightfully skewed claymation spawned from the cult Belgian TV series about a Cowboy, Indian and Horse figurine who share a house in a strange rural town.

Don’t expect this bizarre set-up to make any sense – creators Aubier and Patar, with their inate feel for the random and absurd, have eyes for only budding surrealists, part-time stoners, and perhaps the 'Adultswim' crowd. While children can enjoy it too, adults will get the biggest kick out of its spontaneous, nonsensical humour.

5 stars (Exceptional) Utterly joyous and silly. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys fun for the sake of fun. Immeasurably quotable even though it is in french. The plot is wholly unpredictable and well wort repeat viewings. ~AJ
