Renaissance

Pretty good, this. Not good in a Sin City push-you-back-into-your-seat-with-its-sheer-force kinda way, but good nonetheless. Noirish animation, almost all in black and white, graphic novel sensibility without overplaying its hand either visually or 'philosophically' (had a couple of 'uh-oh' moments but the film always pulled back from the brink), story perhaps a bit predictable but, y'know, these moves and twists are, in a way, wired into us and so we respond to them anyway, whether because of their immanent properties or out of familiarity...
