To Homer's Odyssey, where Calypso emprisons Odysseus and to Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972), where objects are materialised from the memories, Magnetic Rose, like a sculpture made of trash, but filled with butterflies, mixes the beauty of an opera and the coldness of the space.

A psychodelic trip into a sci-fi nightmare. Short and really worth the watch.

An excellent and much overlooked short film from the mind of Otomo and a screenplay from Satoshi Kon. So epic that it plays out like a feature condensed to a short; boasting that gorgeous 80s/90s space-anime aesthetic, a haunting and immersive score (Yoko Kanno) and creative direction. While I'd like to give Kon all the credit here, director Morimoto weaves some wonderful trickery and his visual style is very pleasing to the eye, escalating 'interesting and spooky' into visceral mayhem.

Each of these shorts were good in their own right. This might be the best of the trilogy: a gritty psychological sci-fi that borrows heavily from tropes in the genre but meshes them together into a new and absolutely stunning short animated work.

There is just something immersive about old style animation and storytelling. The hard science of the technology grounds you into the experience. The puffs of air from their suits, the motions of the captain in the ship, the panicked movements of Heinz as he goes room to room lugging around his firearm. The characters are relatable on a human level that feels foreign in modern animation.
