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.

[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.
