Synopsis
The film uses a common social gaffe – forgetting somebody’s name – as the starting point for a romp through the unconscious. Stealing generously the classic TV game show Password, the film features a wealth of animated celebrity guests, who desperately try to prompt Charles, Landreth’s alter ego, to remember his friend’s name.
Chris Landreth is one of Canada’s most celebrated animation directors and the creator of a style he calls “psychorealism.” Landreth studied theoretical and applied mechanics before taking up animation. His first short film, The Listener, was released in 1991. It was followed by the Oscar®-nominated the end (1995) and the Genie winner Bingo (1996). In 2004, the NFB released Landreth’s film Ryan, which won more than 60 awards.
