Hen, His Wife
Extraordinarily detailed and beautifully drawn animation of a bizarre and surreal world; the domestic life of a fat man, his wife, a sort of oversized obese chicken, and their child/pet, a slug-like creature with a human head. This expressionistic and interior vision of Soviet animator Kovalyov is like an animated Eraserhead.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Kovalyov constructs a grotesque metaphor of domestic isolation, relying on expressive, textured animation and a near-total absence of dialogue. The film explores claustrophobia through meticulously distorted everyday objects and unsettling sound design.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of alienation, packaged in absurdist imagery. Those who tire of conventional narratives will find a uniquely visceral cinematic poem. — MovieFinder Editorial

Late at night, alone, surrendering to its hypnotic and unsettling rhythm.
