Highway Jenny · review
While it's not in the tag system, I think that this should be aproached entirely as a musical, because it is. The music feels a bit disjointed, sort of like Daft Punk's Electroma, but while that one had a very basic plot that felt sort of empty this one has a mess of a ideas a bit too pseudointelectual for my taste (humans are the same as animals, every day people are born and die, I'm just one more of them, "Motherfucker while you sleep your all my sheep I'll conquer the world", all this taken from text on screen). If you can see itall as music lyrics then, you know, music doesn't tend to get the most insightful stuff in the world anyway. You're not going to get mad at Interstella 5555's lyrics.
Visually it's a mixture of rotoscopy, computer generated backgrounds in lineart and extremely hands on snippets of either constantly changing figures or hand written stuff. It feels like a middle point between one of the less interesting Waking Life parts and 12oz Mouse.
The music is okay for me, but I think this is the key point for enjoying this. If it's you enjoy the sound then the pictures pass as an extra you didn't ask for. If you don't you'll suffer through trying to understand what's the point of all this and how has it been only 18 minutes so far.
