La reina italiana llega cargada de plumas y bigotes postizos. Volvemos al transformismo de principios del siglo XX con la sucesora de Fregoli.

En este episodio grabado con público durante la semana del Orgullo LGTBIQA+ hablamos de arte drag. El drag es una de las manifestaciones más auténtica y genuinamente queer que existen. Escucharéis muchas veces las plabras drag queen, transformista, travesti travesti o incluso reinona –según la RAE–, y todas se refieren a esta manifestación artística incómoda y significativa de la ocupación m4r1c0n4 del espacio público, que diría Ocaña, cuyos orígenes se remontan a la tragedia griega, el kabuki japonés, el kathakali hindú, los köeçekler del imperio otomano y, más tarde, el vodevil. Referentes como Fregoli, Divine, John Waters, Madonna y la madre de todes, RuPaul, han sido escenciales para que el drag llegue hoy en día a la televisión global y a museos “normales” como el Frans Hals de Amsterdam. Hugáceo Crujiente, estrella invitada de este pódcast y participante de la primera temporada de Drag Race España, nos ayuda a completar el glosario del arte drag. Nos basamos principalmente en los libros: '¡Eres tan travesti! Breve historia del transformismo en España', de Anto Rodríguez (Egales) 'Arte drag', de Jake Hall, Sofie Birkin, Helen Li y Jasjyot Singh Hans (Astiberri)

En esta sección de Cultura LGTBIQA+ en Plaça Tísner, presentada por Laura Sangrà, la artista e investigadora del travestismo Rubén Antón de Drag is Burning habla de TRANSFORMISMO: el arte de transformarse. Y para hablar del transformismo nos tenemos que ir a finales del siglo XIX con Leopoldo Fregoli, inventor del transformismo y los herederos de su arte desde los cambios rápidos de vestuario, la magia y el ilusionismo, que era como se entendía el transformismo sobre los escenarios a principios del siglo XX. 1867. LEOPOLDO FREGOLI 1957. ARTURO BRACHETTI 1960. ENNIO MARCHETTO 1983. LUCA LOMBARDO 1995. LÉA KYLE

In der heutigen Folge sprechen Maxi und Babsy über das Fregoli Syndrom. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein besonderes und sehr seltenes Syndrom, bei dem Betroffene der Überzeugung sind, eine andere Person sei im Körper eines anderen oder sei als diese Person verkleidet. Einige erinnern sich vielleicht noch an unsere Folge zum Capgras-Syndrom. Heute erfahrt ihr etwas mehr über den „Gegenspieler“. Freut euch auf eine psychologische Folge mit zwei kleineren Fällen und einiger Verwirrung bei dem Versuch Capgras und Fregoli auseinander zu halten. Alles Liebe, Maxi & Babsy

Rassegna stampa del 07 10 22 | Stanotte Joe Biden ha detto apertamente che la minaccia nucleare russa non è una suggestione ma un dato di fatto, una condizione dettata dalla difficoltà militare dei russi sul campo e dell'imprevedibilità del suo leader. Nel frattempo il fronte pacifista italiano come una commedia di Fregoli si prepara a scendere in piazza con una piattaforma generica che confonde ancora una volta aggressori e aggrediti.

È un Don Pasquale divertente e frizzante quello in scena al Teatro Verdi di Trieste che strappa sorrisi e risate pur mantenendone elevata l'interpretazione lirica. Il regista Gianni Marras, con un attenta rilettura, ha scelto un registro ironico, a tratti caricaturale,  per questo bell'allestimento del Teatro Comunale di Bologna (2008) dell'opera buffa di Gaetano Doninzetti. Marras rende omaggio all'aspetto innovativo del compositore bergamasco e, forte anche della sua formazione nei musical, tinge l'opera di  colori vivaci e di ammiccamenti continui ai ruggenti Anni ‘50-60, sostenuto dagli allegri costumi di Davide Amadei. Si respira cosi un'atmosfera da Cinecittà in questa lettura registica piena di inventiva, leggera ma non superficiale. L'opera calca perfettamente e con equilibrio l'impronta della commedia all'italiana: propone citazioni che ricordano il clima e i film di quegli anni - grazie anche alle scene allusive, vere e proprie citazioni, ideate ancora assieme ad  Amadei e ispirate ai fumetti americani- sullo sfondo di una Roma monumentale- ricca  di simboli del boom economico del dopoguerra come la Vespa, o la lussuosa auto americana,   la mitica Ford Thunderbird, e pure il casco da parrucchiere per la bella Norina, interpretata dall'albanese Nina Muho (ancora in scena il 3,5,7 aprile), che ammicca alla Marisa Allasio di Poveri ma belli (1957) o alla  Audrey Hepburn di Vacanza romane (1953). Perfettamente calati nella parte anche gli altri protagonisti:  e così, con  il ciuffo e le movenze alla Elvis Presley, Antonino Siracusa dà vita ad  un gustoso Ernesto  perfettamente a suo agio nel registro ironico (splendida la gag in tuta  spaziale con il simbolo dell'Unione Sovietica a ricordare l' astronauta Yuri Gagarin o quella in cui novello Bobby Solo canta l'aria più celebre dell'opera). Questa modernizzazione funziona anche con tutti gli altri personaggi dallo spagnolo Pablo Ruiz ( per la prima volta a Trieste), che porta in scena un più che convincente Don Pasquale, al brillante Vincenzo Nizzardo nei panni del dottor Malatesta,  quasi dei papabili Totò e Peppino  Ottima la sintonia tra palcoscenico e orchestra grazie anche alla conduzione d'orchestra del maestro Roberto Gianolla, di ritorno sul podio del Verdi, che assieme al direttore artistico Paolo Rodda ha lavorato sapientemente sulla qualità del suono nonostante l'orchestra non sia ancora collocata nella  buca per l'emergenza sanitaria. Ne risulta un emissione orchestrale soffusa e presente che valorizza la linea melodica senza coprirla. Applausi anche per il bravo mimo Daniele Palumbo, che pur non cantando, con il suo trasformismo  alla Fregoli si pone protagonista della serata svolgendo funzione di collante tra le varie scene. Funziona dunque questa rilettura del  capolavoro di Donizetti che, senza alterare la storia, trasforma i personaggi negli antesignani di quelli che col tempo sarebbero diventati i comici e le soubrette dell'operetta e poi dell'avanspettacolo e  rende omaggio ad un periodo felice dello spettacolo italiano. Nel cast anche  César Cortés (2, 5, 9/IV), Elisa Verzier (2, 9 /IV), Michele Govi (2, 9 /IV)e Bruno Taddia (2, 9 /IV). Qui un approfondimento con il regista Gianni Marras ai microfoni di Monica Ferri per Teatralmente:

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Bayes for Schizophrenics: Reasoning in Delusional Disorders , published by Scott Alexander on the LessWrong. Related to: The Apologist and the Revolutionary, Dreams with Damaged Priors Several years ago, I posted about V.S. Ramachandran's 1996 theory explaining anosognosia through an "apologist" and a "revolutionary". Anosognosia, a condition in which extremely sick patients mysteriously deny their sickness, occurs during right-sided brain injury but not left-sided brain injury. It can be extraordinarily strange: for example, in one case, a woman whose left arm was paralyzed insisted she could move her left arm just fine, and when her doctor pointed out her immobile arm, she claimed that was her daughter's arm even though it was obviously attached to her own shoulder. Anosognosia can be temporarily alleviated by squirting cold water into the patient's left ear canal, after which the patient suddenly realizes her condition but later loses awareness again and reverts back to the bizarre excuses and confabulations. Ramachandran suggested that the left brain is an "apologist", trying to justify existing theories, and the right brain is a "revolutionary" which changes existing theories when conditions warrant. If the right brain is damaged, patients are unable to change their beliefs; so when a patient's arm works fine until a right-brain stroke, the patient cannot discard the hypothesis that their arm is functional, and can only use the left brain to try to fit the facts to their belief. In the almost twenty years since Ramachandran's theory was published, new research has kept some of the general outline while changing many of the specifics in the hopes of explaining a wider range of delusions in neurological and psychiatric patients. The newer model acknowledges the left-brain/right-brain divide, but adds some new twists based on the Mind Projection Fallacy and the brain as a Bayesian reasoner. INTRODUCTION TO DELUSIONS Strange as anosognosia is, it's only one of several types of delusions, which are broadly categorized into polythematic and monothematic. Patients with polythematic delusions have multiple unconnected odd ideas: for example, the famous schizophrenic game theorist John Nash believed that he was defending the Earth from alien attack, that he was the Emperor of Antarctica, and that he was the left foot of God. A patient with a monothematic delusion, on the other hand, usually only has one odd idea. Monothematic delusions vary less than polythematic ones: there are a few that are relatively common across multiple patients. For example: In the Capgras delusion, the patient, usually a victim of brain injury but sometimes a schizophrenic, believes that one or more people close to her has been replaced by an identical imposter. For example, one male patient expressed the worry that his wife was actually someone else, who had somehow contrived to exactly copy his wife's appearance and mannerisms. This delusion sounds harmlessly hilarious, but it can get very ugly: in at least one case, a patient got so upset with the deceit that he murdered the hypothesized imposter - actually his wife. The Fregoli delusion is the opposite: here the patient thinks that random strangers she meets are actually her friends and family members in disguise. Sometimes everyone may be the same person, who must be as masterful at quickly changing costumes as the famous Italian actor Fregoli (inspiring the condition's name). In the Cotard delusion, the patient believes she is dead. Cotard patients will neglect personal hygiene, social relationships, and planning for the future - as the dead have no need to worry about such things. Occasionally they will be able to describe in detail the "decomposition" they believe they are undergoing. Patients with all these types of delusions1 - as well...

Airing date: 07/25/2018 Why You Should Delete Old Apps - Secret Tips To Staying Safe Online   Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Hi everybody this morning I talked about some of the tips and tricks for apps. It's the tenth anniversary of the app store. So going a little bit of detail. We really need to think this through. I also talked about some of the tips from a white hat hacker what should you be doing online. What do you need to look for online. What should you not be doing online. So all of that and more this morning with Ken and Matt. Here we go.   [00:00:27] Craig Peterson joins us every Wednesday at 7:38 and guess what. It's seven thirty eight. So it's time to Craig Peterson. Wow.   [00:00:35] I'm doing good. Hey that's really quite the coincidence isn't it.   [00:00:38] It's weird the way my favorite is. Got to get Can't Get No Satisfaction by the rolling SCENE I The Greatest Rock Roll song.   [00:00:45] If you're on a desert island you had to do something on repeat every day for the rest of your life.   [00:00:49] I'll be the one that would be the one that you know the Stones were just the all to it. I'm a kind of a blues guy and of course rock n roll history is kind of in the blues.   [00:01:00] And it's very bluesy and rock'n'roll and I just love that is the greatest rock'n'roll song of all time even though it's not my favorite. I think it's a great little song of all time. Yeah yeah exactly. It doesn't make me cry either by the way this is supposed to make you cry. No no I was saying the song Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors. Every time I hear the song I said oh that was a good movie too.   [00:01:25] Not the original but the one with Rick Moran.   [00:01:27] He was fabulous that you haven't written Maraniss. It's kind of been like at my age for like 20 years right. Did the did the Ghostbusters movies and the Dead I shrunk the kid in 1984 like 1989 movies I remember He's Canadian so he kind of faded into obscurity in the U.S..   [00:01:45] What are you saying about Canadian.   [00:01:46] He used to do a standup stuff up in Canada and you know second city and all that sort of thing in Toronto. And then of course he got those movie roles down here. But it was it was Bob. Dave. Dave Dave and Doug.   [00:02:01] But I'm trying to remember the Hoser thing you know they had a whole staff he and might go in 2009 he did Bob and Doug but then in 2000 didn't go to those on TV. GOLDBERG Yeah.   [00:02:17] So yeah nothing really big but he's done a bunch of stuff up in Canada where the government forces people to play Canadian content because so much with Voltaire. I mean it's great stuff but so he's had a lot of stuff up in Canada but really not so much down here.   [00:02:34] So over the years Sanatan anyhow bigger than Rana's. I have like 300 apps on my phone. Today is an important day in app world particularly when iPhone users. Wouldn't you agree.   [00:02:50] It absolutely is. And I don't know Danny had I guess he didn't have the drum.   [00:02:58] What's it called you know drum roll drum roll.   [00:03:00] No the snare drum you do it right on the edge.   [00:03:04] Any rimshot rimshot Sheargold.   [00:03:07] There we go for the perfect segue because yeah it's kind of fun because it is the 10th anniversary the App Store. And if you pull out your phone right now can how many apps are on there that you just have not. Well I have about 300 apps and I'd say about 200 97 I don't use exactly what you're about normal. And then over on the math side this is where the real danger comes in is for Android users how many do you have.   [00:03:36] Matt Yeah. How many apps do I have. Yeah I would say probably about 80 or 90. It's not that bad maybe.   [00:03:47] Yeah you're probably a little bit more normal here when the Apple App Store opened it had 500 total apps on it. Now it's got more than two million and it has been 10 years now. Over those 10 years Apple has continued to vet apps and deleted apps. It has gotten rid of some of the apps and the whole idea behind look at your apps doing inventory is because of security. Now whether it's an Apple app or an Android app your app is going to many times go out to the cloud. It might be using some sort of a cloud service or searches or other things out on the cloud. So even if the app itself is perfectly safe what's behind it in the cloud might not be safe according to today's standards because we've got all kinds of new ways to hack into things. Now on the Android side the apps just don't get the vetting that they get over on the Apple side. And we know about some of the wall papers for instance on Android that were actually stealing all your contact information. Even banking information and sending it up to the bad guys.   [00:05:01] So the story here the motto of the story anyways is if you have app it's probably a great time to go ahead and look at them. Get rid of the older apps because they're not vetted like they should have been but you can't get and you can't get everything on the back end up in the cloud. And if you have old Android apps you might really be in very big trouble. So go through get rid of the older apps make sure you keep those apps up to date with the latest versions of them. But some very very big security problem. And by the way you know Ken you mentioned that you probably only use three of those apps. That's actually not abnormal most people do not use most of the apps that are on their phones. In fact the average person's only launch in about nine apps per day and that includes by the way your phone and messages and you only are using about 30 apps over the course of a month. So if you have more than about 30 or maybe even 50 apps on your phone it's time to Collina them.   [00:06:10] I will say that some I use some of the travel apps like de guru and next flight. I use Fregoli when I you know I will use all the time but when I'm when I travel the very alpha1 you know you all obviously I use quite a bit on around as I use quite a bit. So there are some I used pretty frequently Ghafar apps.   [00:06:31] Yeah well I'm the same way. I have a lot of apps on my phone that I use regularly. Like you mentioned flying or on vacation or whatever those apps of course are important to keep on the phone now there's a new trick I don't know if you knew it on your iPhone but now you can tell if you go into your settings general iPhone storage it gives you an option called offload unused apps.   [00:06:56] So what that'll do is automatically delete apps that you don't use that you do not use regularly but it saves all the documents saves the day to go with them and you're going to have to read download those apps if later on you decide to use them again. But it's something that could save you some space on your phone. And Apple is not removing them if you don't need to remove them. So in other words if you turn this on and they offload unused apps you turn it on if your phone gets tight on space it'll just start shooting these old apps ones that you're not using in the head. It will remove them from the phone it'll keep your data but it'll start saving space way.   [00:07:38] Do you know what period of time you like is it if you don't use it for a year or I mean do that.   [00:07:43] Well it depends on how much space you need on your phone. So it's going to start deleting the oldest ones the least used let me put it that way not the longest I've been on the phone. But I was going to start deleting them kind of one at a time as you need space. So if you're for instance you're downloading movies from Netflix or something onto your phone. Is certain to run tight on space. It'll start moving at least to use used apps or at least recently used apps from your phone. So that's what it does it isn't like anything old in the three months it's going to whack it as you need space. It'll start deleting the older one.   [00:08:18] Well now that I'm answering a look at my phone and the apps I've been sitting here playing Snake versus block for the last five minutes. So the last question I have for you before we let you go for the day is related to what you should and shouldn't be doing online and I guess the reason I'm asking that is because there is an actual hacker who has like a real life hacker who's who is revealing to the general public like kind of the dumb things that they do that maybe they shouldn't be doing online.   [00:08:45] What are these warning things that he's telling us not to do father's black hat and white hat black hat or the bad guys in white hat are the good guys in this case. It's actually a lady named Stephanie and she is a hacker of sorts. Hackers didn't used to have the bad connotation it has today. But hackers nowadays I mean someone who is trying to break in and she has been doing this for quite a while. But what she's advising her to do is just kind of some very basic things here. OK. Don't post stupid stuff online. That's kind of her big number one. You know when you're younger you just need you don't have any sense at all. Sometimes those things will come up with you particularly when it's time to go to college or get a job OK. So that's a very big deal out there.   [00:09:38] And some of the things that you've seen it's just amazing. New home owners taking pictures of their new house. And those pictures getting uploaded member those can be geotagged and that obviously now gives a physical location for your new home. Easy to find online. That's another one of her things. Now there are apps you can run on your phone Android or iPhone that will remove the geotagging before you post your photo. And that's something I always advise people do. You know you're taking pictures of a kid at a soccer game for instance and you're uploading them those now are available for their friends to use. And you know about bullying. And I was certainly bullied as a kid. Now today's bullying follows you all the way into the house because there line these bullies from other kids from schools until they can find out where you go after school where you're playing soccer where your home is. Don't upload geotagged employees and then there are pictures and then the employees here too. Same problem. Taking selfies with complete disregard for what's in the background of the picture. So they could be password sensitive information on white boards computer monitors voicemail passwords other passwords taped to their computers and desks and walls. So some people even post pictures of their paychecks. This is not Stephanie had some great advice on what to do what not to do. And I've got all of that up on my Web site right now.   [00:11:12] Links to her article to Craig Peterson our tech guru you can go to dot com. Get all of his information all the time. Join us every Wednesday at 7:38 thanks. We'll talk to you next week.   [00:11:25] Take care gentlemen thanks.   [00:11:26] Thank you Craig.

What are some mindblowing facts about psychology?Kelsie McKinnon, I study psychology a lot.Answered FriA rare but very real delusional disorder causes those afflicted to believe that they have died and are no longer among the living. It's called Cotard's Syndrome or Walking Corpse Syndrome.The most common lie people tell is “I'm fine”Charm and flattery are the two of the most used presuasion tactics.Less socially intelligent people are heavily prone to being manipulated.1 in 5 women and 1 in 20 men admit to sleeping with a cuddly toy on a regular basis (Kanner, 1995).Suicidal thinking or behaviour is the most common reason for people to be admitted into a mental institution.Women who live in warmer climates have more body image concerns than those who live in colder climates .Bandwagon Effect. As the name implies, this means joining a fad or craze because others are doing so. Then isn't this just a repetition of social comparison theory -- following the lead of others? The result is the same, but the psychology is different. Social comparison theory describes behavior based on our status relative to others. Whatever we do then is based on our dissatisfaction. The bandwagon effect does not presuppose comparison with others or any cognitive dissonance. It is little more than "monkey see, monkey do." The thinking is closer to "hey, that looks like fun" rather than "why them and not me?"[1]Women generally prefer men with deep husky voices because they seem more confident and not aggressive.The people who give the best advice are usually the ones with the most problems.The smarter the person is, the faster he thinks, and the sloppier his handwriting is.Our emotions don't affect the way we communicate. In fact, the very opposite is true: the way we communicate has an influence on our mood.The way a person treats restaurant staff reveals a lot about their character.People who have a strong sense of guilt are better at understanding other people's thoughts and feelings.Men are not funnier than women: they just make more jokes, not caring whether other people like their humor or not.Shy people talk little about themselves, but they do this in a way that makes other people feel that they know them very well.The Fregoli delusion is the belief that different people are in fact the same person. For example, a man in his early twenties fell in love with a woman who rejected him, then came to believe that all of his Facebook friends were actually this woman in disguise. This led him to think that her many disguises and impersonations of different people meant that she was as obsessed with him as he was with her.

Matt and Mark are back... to back! this week with our review of the 2015 Charlie Kaufman film Anomalisa. Using stop-motion puppetry to enhance the Fregoli syndrome metaphor, Anomalisa dissects the ubiquity and transactional nature of the protagonist Michael Stone. When he meets Lisa a momentary emergence of beauty invigorates Michael, but it's ephemeral and more of self-illusion than authentic. Anomalisa paints middle-aged human interaction as a desert of intimacy with its perceived oasis nothing more than mirages. Not a "feel good" movie by any stretch, it does attempt a level honesty most likely unattainable with live actors.Download: 271 Anomalisa

Episode 6 asks Robert - What You Thinking Hun? He's thinking about the Fregoli delusion and how some people (4 people, or 4x10 = 400?) can no longer trust who everyone else in the world is, including their own family. Hear about murder, how Johnny Depp is everywhere and everyone and onomatopoeia.

I just got to see Anomalisa. I phrase it that way because it does feel a little bit like I have been given some sort of exclusive golden ticket, and not just because the film has a limited theater run at the moment - it was special. This segment was used in episode #120 of the RubberOnion Animation Podcast (click to listen to the entire episode) HOW IT STARTED Anomalisa started as a live-performance "sound play"; like a radio play but on stage. The actors read their lines in real time, a foley artist created sound fx in real time, all while the musician (Carter Burwell) played in real time. It wasn't intended to be recorded or preserved film. As writer/director Charlie Kaufman put it "we performed it twice in 2005... and then it was over... I liked that it was ephemeral." It was Dino Stamatopoulos, a friend of Kaufman's, who saw the play being performed at UCLA and asked if he could make it into a movie. You'll know Dino as the founder of Animation Studio Starburns Industries (Rick & Morty, and many more), writer (and more) on the new Netflix show W Bob & David, and he was (clearly) the character of "Starburns" on Community. Kaufman reluctantly agreed, stipulating that Dino had to raise the money (never thinking that it would happen). Enter the Kickstarter campaign which raised $406,237 from over 5,000 backers to produce a 40 minute short. Well that success led to Starburns Industries securing more funding and turning it into a feature length film with an ultimate budget of $8mil. STORY, and my critical dilemma It's written by Charlie Kaufman. That, right there, should say a lot. This has been said a lot about the man over the years but it's very rare that an auteur, when referring to film, is the writer. Charlie Kaufman is an auteur. Understand that while he is billed as one of two directors, the direction as far as the visuals are concerned is Duke Johnson. Here's the problem, I feel like too much is being given away about the plot in reviews. I'm not saying that in the modern "no spoilers" tone where you're not allowed to say anything about any movie without getting scolded. What I'm saying is that the film itself is a very subtle exploration of a mundane rut in someone's life so it doesn't naturally lend itself to many significant reveals. The few plot turns which are there... are significant. I really feel like this movie is best enjoyed if you know absolutely nothing and let the filmmakers take you through it all... so if you trust me that much, just go watch it! But if you want to know a little more, there are a few things I want to bring up. The main character, Michael Stone (voiced by David Thewlis, who also played Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter series) stays in a hotel called "The Fregoli." Even the sound play was written under the pseudonym Francis Fregoli which references the Fregoli delusion which is "a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person who changes appearance." Michael is a customer service guru who wrote a book and gives talks at conferences. Everyone except for Michael and a woman he meets at the conference, Lisa (voiced by Jennifer Jason Leigh), are voiced by the same actor: Tom Noonan (who fans of Last Action Hero might remember as the film villain, Ripper) The film is set in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2005. There's a reason I picked these four to pick out and tell you: they directly relate to the animation. To be more precise, they perfectly encapsulate why I think this film with its generic, work-a-day setting should be a hyper realistic animated stop-mo film. ANIMATION, or did this really need to be animated? Yes. Here's why: Ok first up, the fact that the main character sees everyone as the same person and is also customer service guru is a great touch. But more important is the ability to marry the visuals of 3D printed stop-mo puppets and their interchangeable features to the world that this man is living in. Everything supports the mundane. No offence to my Cincinnati fans out there... I dig your chili (and the fact that it and the zoo are constantly being brought up as 'things to do' while he's visiting is a fun running gag), but Ohio is kind of the perfect place to set a movie like this. The every-state, state. Just as every character but the two mains is played by the same actor (Tom Noonan), all their character designs are made of the same puppet parts... like a high-end Mr. Potato Heads. There are couple excellent moments for animation fans in the film. I don't want to ruin it other than to say that the design choice isn't just aesthetic, but in true Kaufman fashion there is some 4th wall busting moments with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AILnP1Y-0o The acting is very subtle. Aside from The Tale of The Princess Kaguya (though maybe more so) this has probably the most subtle acting performances I've seen in an animated feature. I would be fascinated to find out what challenges that presented to the animators because the motions are deliberate while still seemingly spontaneous. There's a particular sequence I noted where Lisa falls down in the hallway and Michael runs up to her as maybe the most true-to-life stop-mo run I've ever seen. The lighting is especially fantastic in the "date" scenes with Michael and Lisa. And sidenote: yes Anomalisa has something to do with her name, and no I'm not telling you what it is. If you haven't figured it out on your own it's better that the film tells you. THE SEX SCENE, or "yes, that one" Yes there is a sex scene. Yes there is nudity. Yes there are explicit acts performed. But I've read in other reviews words like "filthy" and "raunchy" and it is definitely neither of those. It plays very real, and by real I don't mean just the physical act. I mean that the moment is full of interplay which reinforces the characters and their dynamic in real-time. There's communication, mood breaks, awkward advances and retreats, and all these other intricacies that aren't in other scenes like this. I know that not everyone checks their watch to note the pacing of a film, but if you want to know perfect editing... note what happens at exactly the 60 minute mark of the film. Not so incidentally, Garret Elkins is nominated for Best Editing at the Annies this year. SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? I know, this sounds a little heady and boring and you're right. The fact is, it's very hard to communicate this film without discussing it line-by-line which I refuse to do. Just understand that this is the first R-rated animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award for BEST ANIMATED FEATURE. That should speak volumes right there. The fact of the matter is that we don't get films like this very often but I'm seeing it more and more these days in the animated medium, whether it be stop-mo, computer-modeled, or hand-drawn. TL;DR This is an R-rated, introspective, critically-praised, independent animated feature film which started its funding with a successful online crowdfunding campaign and ended up getting nominated for Best Animated Feature Oscar... that is special. Go watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQkHA3fHk_0
