Review – I Married a Strange Person

Animator Bill Plympton’s wife must say this on a daily basis. Here Plympton isn’t even constrained by the normal restraints of working for clients such as MTV or an insurance company. So he lets his imagination run wild, with the result being, well, wild. If nothing else, this feature-length animation includes a lot more graphic sex and violence than the artist’s more famous, shorter work. The plot, to the extent that there is one, loosely follows the exploits of a man who ends up with psychic powers that he uses in the pursuit of strangeness. But if you’re in the mood for a little absurdist comedy, this will more than scratch your itch. Mildly amusing
