Pol is a teenager with a seemingly calm life: he lives with his brother and is still in high school. However, Pol has a secret: Deerhoof, a cuddly teddy bear who thinks, moves around and with whom he shares his best moments. Life goes on as normal until the arrival of Ikari, an enigmatic student who seems to be hiding something. Pol is fascinated by his new classmate and attracted to the dark side he harbors. An inexplicable death and a series of strange events will transform the meek student's routine into a fantastic adventure which will take over their lives. Animals is a story of teenage love, of sacrifice, of the tragedy of two clashing worlds. A Tale in which the power of imagination blurs it's borders with reality and where death turns out to be an ending as tempting as inevitable.
… One of the more interesting elements of the film is its exploration of the consequences of adults' decisions on adolescents' lives, in particular the information adults choose to share and withhold from the teenagers present. Much like the aforementioned 'Donnie Darko', this is all done without a huge number of adult characters being presented in the film. Indeed the one adult who is present in their lives, Martin Freeman playing Pol's English teacher, is shown as well-meaning but hampered by the other adults and the rules of the society around him.
This is a film which invites discussion and analysis; there will inevitably be some who will find the lack of answers frustrating and will find some of the more quirky elements of the film irksome. For me, however, these plot elements added to the film's beauty rather than subtracting from it, and felt far less contrived than several other recent 'quirky' releases like 'Stoker'.
The film unfolds at a leisurely pace until the final moments where the main storyline, as well as the sub-plots which have been bubbling away, reach a sudden and explosive climax.
This is a beautiful film which will stay with you for days and invites a second viewing.IMDB Reviewer
