Bob Spit – We Don’t Like People (2021)
"Bob Spit won the Contrechamp prize at the Annecy Festival, the most coveted animation award in the world, and is considered a serious contender for the Oscars, but whether or not it will succeed may depend on the squeamishness of older Academy voters. In terms of pure skill (not to mention effort), it is undoubtedly among the most impressive of this year’s animated works. It’s also an intriguing reflection on Brazilian art history which, though it may not communicate as successfully to international audiences unaware of the wider context, makes an important contribution to the archives of cinema."
