If you loved Cleopatra: Queen of Sex, try Animated Self-Portraits
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Osamu Tezuka, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cleopatra: Queen of Sex, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Animated Self-Portraits is
Sketched identities collide in this 1989 split-screen showdown where 27 animators turn the camera on themselves, drafting autobiographical sketches in wildly mismatched styles. One rapid-fire mosaic of ego and aesthetics that never lands on a single look. The rare short that feels like a preview reel for the next century of animation.
