The style needs time to ingest and appreciate, but when you start to embrace it, the distraction, and even the animation, just vanishes slowly. An interesting statement can be unraveled here, on how the animation might not even be needed for visual storytelling. In fact, we get to learn more about the characters when they were just curves and lines of a white canvas. They are at their most colorful at their least colorful nature. It is in itself not just telling a story about a wife seeking patience when the husband was diagnosed of Alzheimer’s, but a deconstruction of animation as a visual style.
Papa does not only disenfranchised animation to unwelcoming bits, but he also uses this decision as an opportunity to experiment on offering new methods to catharsis. The power of ‘Paglisan’ is that it lets you know that great drama will always be great drama, regardless of what medium used it. Could it work as a live-action? Yes. A more polished animation? Yes. It could even be a great radio show.
‘Paglisan’ is worthy to be seen on the sole merits of how animation was used. The story it tells was pretty heart-wrenching material, emphasizing on the concept of love as a force that cannot be reckoned, withstanding disease, memory loss, and even the decision to depart from it.
'Paglisan (The Leaving)' is part of Cinema One Originals 2018, which is currently running until October 21, 2018.
