Anamorphosis
The Quays' interest in esoteric illusions finds its perfect realization in this fascinating animated lecture on the art of anamorphosis. This artistic technique, often used in the 16th- and 17th centuries, utilizes a method of visual distortion with which paintings, when viewed from different angles, mischievously revealed hidden symbols.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its argument like a meticulous curator, revealing how anamorphosis bends perception to hide subversive meanings in plain sight. It relies on a treasury of historical examples to explore the intersection of art, science, and clandestine communication.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of delightful suspicion toward surfaces, a newfound curiosity about the secrets ordinary perspectives might conceal. — MovieFinder Editorial
