William Kentridge’s Monument is a captivating short animated film about the unveiling of a statue dedicated to the South African work force. This monument comes to life, and continues to suffer under the elite white regime. This celebration and memorialization of past injustices fails in its goal to silence or normalize these injustices, as the statue breaks the cinematic third wall and its breathing fills our ears.
Reviews
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
