Logorama. Film. France. 2009.




Written/directed by François Alaux, Herve de Crecy + Ludovic Houplain.
French animation collective H5's recent movie has been getting mad Oscar hype, deservingly so, for their short,Logorama. It's an LA crime plot, set in a corporate logo world (which disturbingly resembles reality). It's totally brilliant and worth checking out.
