Mankind attains longevity through gene manipulation, but finds itself on the road to extinction when the species loses the ability to reproduce. Their clones who rebelled 1,600 years ago are now known as Marigans and rule the bottomless underworld. Some of them seem to have become fertile and the government takes this as a ray of hope and decides to send civilians in to carry out an ecological study. Selected for the mission, Parton sets off on an adventure through a subterranean labyrinth crawling with monsters in order to secure humanity’s future.

Like a one-man band, there's a lot happening all at once and, while the song isn't always recognizable, the effort is worth watching and the music is very cool. Takehide Hori does a stop-motion feature in which a 'man' in the future (where humans live forever but can't reproduce) is sent to the center of the earth to find the origins of solutions. I'm being very generous with this simplified plot, because the film is really a combination of Forbidden Planet and Hieronymus Bosch's version of hell where the images are surreal, there is no discernable language (but all the grunts are subtitled) and the industrial/techno is banging. While not a film for everyone, it is a film for those who have seen it all before and need anything new, or who wonder what Wallace and Grommit would look like if they did meth.

[Sitges FF, 2021 edition] A remarkable work of animation by a single man, who exploits all possibilities in a dystopian story full of formal discoveries. There are surprisingly dynamic action scenes and a fluidity of movements that is not usual in stop-motion animation, with a staging that well mixes the imagery of H.P. Lovecraft and the iconography of H.R. Giger. One of the best animated film of recent years.

A beautiful stop motion movie, all the more impressive that it's been mostly done by one guy who first did the short version all by himself.

Background story: humans are now immortal, but can't have children. They used to have some genetically modified clones to do all labour, but they re More
