Review:

In ‘Galeria’ a woman goes shopping, accompanied by her husband, while their bull terrier has to wait outside.

Robert Proch treats this simple and rather boring subject with the greatest of elegance. His film is rendered in black and white only, with some occasional reds, and the semi-abstract pen drawings burst with animated life.

Add some original stagings, some great metamorphosis, a rather associative way of story-telling, and an excellent score by Tupika, and we can conclude that ‘Galeria’ is one of those shorts that shows what animation can do. Despite its dull subject matter, ‘Galeria’ is a triumph of imagination, and its dance-like quality is a delight to watch throughout.

Watch ‘Galeria’ yourself and tell me what you think:

‘Galeria’ is available on the The Animation Show of Shows Box Set 7
