A cut-out animation today and a rather beautiful one at that. Florian by Andrew Gibbs is a tragic story of doomed love. A young soldier delivers a bouquet of flowers to his beloved to a plaintive and operatic CocoRosie soundtrack - the haunting song, Houses. In fact the young man is delivering his flowers to an idealised woman when he is distracted by a drowning girl. Overseen by the woman he attempts to rescue the girl who desperately clings to a receding thread of life. Set amidst classical iconography, specifically stained glass window figures, with a goddess-like woman surveying the action, Andrew has distilled the action to the level of myth. The magpie selecting glistening coins for his mistress adds to the sense of fable.
