An Exercise In Nonsense
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
"Dji. Death Fails" is a 4-minute short film from four years ago by Ukrainian director Dmitri Voloshin. But even if this one has country of origin Moldova, do not worry. There is no dialogue in this animated movie, so you won't need any subtitles. basically, from start to finish, it shows us the (mis)adventures of Death a.k.a. the Grim reaper who wears a phantom-like robe here and fails in getting a deceased soul out of the hospital. This one is set in a very funny tone despite the dark references and for people who enjoyed "This Way Up" or "Lady and the Reaper". Sadly, in terms of quality, it really is inferior to these two Oscar nominees. "Dji. Death Fails" scored a couple of awards nominations as well, but as a whole I must say I am a bit disappointed. Not a really funny watch in my opinion and the music is way over the top. Thumbs down.
