Who I Am and What I Want
Pete, a man with a monotonous voice and an expressionless face, methodically lists his desires and perceptions of the world. His emotionless internal monologue is paired with crude, deliberately primitive animation, where figures jerk against white space. Each declaration—from mundane preferences to absurd philosophical conclusions—is delivered with the same flat conviction. This stream of consciousness, visualized in the style of childlike drawings, gradually forms a portrait of an isolated personality, utterly disconnected from reality, where the line between fantasy and action has completely dissolved.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Chris Shepherd and David Shrigley's short is a visualization of an unfiltered inner world. The animation doesn't embellish but exposes, turning every awkward thought into an obsessive visual. Kevin Eldon's voice, delivered like flat-pack furniture instructions, perfectly captures the character's existential flatness.
What lingers after the credits is the unsettling feeling of having eavesdropped on a mind where banality and profundity are indistinguishable. The crude drawings become a hauntingly accurate map of modern alienation. — MovieFinder Editorial
