Synopsis

THE SAINT INSPECTOR is a surreal stop-motion animation that is as wild as the short films made by the famous surrealist Luis Bunuel. A robotic health inspector visits an obese buddha-like figure who is sitting on top of a platform that is suspended in the clouds. The robot checks his pulse, his, skin, and his general anatomy. He then opens his skull and looks into his mind, giving us a montage of imanes that are perplex and visually exciting. In the end, the man is given a stamp of approval, and the robot falls back to the surdace. This short animated piece is a true gern in the animation genre.
