Description:
Bruno Bozzetto's animated short compresses all of human history into nine minutes, highlighting humanity’s repeated tendency towards war and the futility of conflict. A 1991 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Short, the film presents each historical period as a brief, straightforward scene, typically showing a few simply drawn characters arguing and fighting. Single figures often represent entire groups, like a single exaggerated character standing in for all the Roman Emperors. Dialogue is minimal; instead, a lively piano score, frequently shifting style to match the era, accompanies the visuals. The score is unified by a single, simple theme that recurs throughout.
