This is more of visual experience than any story or point but....wow, what visuals! This is magnificently drawn and probably quite unlike any other animated short you've seen, although it did remind me of some of the cool stuff done when computer animation began with stuff like "The Mind's Eye."
This is more detailed, showing a Lord Of The Rings-looking figure entering a huge and different cathedral. As one poster points out, he apparently was waiting for someone. At any rate, we see at the end how the cathedral is partially updated, if you will.
Not only the visuals unique and stunning, the music is equally dramatic. The short story, meanwhile, will up for many interpretations, which is why I downplay the story a bit. I don't pretend to have the author's intentions with this, just appreciate and admire the work he put into it.
Kudos to Poland's Tomek Baginski, and I can see why his effort here was nominated for an Oscar.
No matter how you try to interpret this, a undeniable fact is that it is stunning artwork, mesmerizing at times.
