TOWN WORKERS

This was a fun little series of videos. They were directed by Shunji Iwai, a very famous Japanese film director who has under his belt "All About Lily Chou Chou", "Undo", "Fireworks", among other famous reputed movies. Town Workers is a series of 3 5-minute lenght short movies that follows young adults getting their first part-time jobs, showing them struggling, enjoying, and interacting with their fellow "town workers". At the end of the day, they get home. Tired, but with a sense of realization. Tired, but proud—It's what I felt. The animation is good. The use of rotoscopy served well the show, making it feel realistic,while preventing the show to feel dragged or heavy, and capturing this slice-of-lifey feel, capturing everyday, human feelings - and conveying them to the spectator. I recommend Town Workers to everyone. Especially to YOU.
