Simmering with understated pressure and ambiance, Toke Madsen’s commencement movie demonstrates a mastery of character subtleties and narrative timing whereas wrapping all of it in classical mild and impressionist rendering.
Mano was produced throughout Madsen’s third yr at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark, and includes a soundtrack by Danish beatmaker and producer Telepa-T.
Toke Madsen: “On a gradual morning close to the outskirts of a Danish metropolis, two brothers study to handle themselves.
Resulting from their neglectful mom, the older brother feels the necessity to shield his youthful sibling from the struggles of a dysfunctional household.”
