Wonderful Calliope
23 August 2022
I enjoyed the Cat Episode a bit, but not very much. For me, it looked similiar to the great rotoscopy animation series "Undone", but who does rotoscopy with cats ? The story itself had the intent to be moving, but it did not reach me, maybe b/c I genuinely could not do any harm to cats, but also do not like to have any kind of pet. Therefore, I am not in the target group for this tale.

However, the second episode is great. It is of/c very, very predictable, as if I would have watched a Sandman-version of "A Christmas Carol". Either way, acting and atmosphere/music (the latter very subtle) are on top here. Mellissanthi Mahut caught me unprepared for her sight of an almost angelic beauty. I really hope she will recur in other episodes to come, and in other shows, too.

The scenes with Calliope and Dream are simply wonderful, as they describe a former love and its downfall with a few words and gazes - I like the subtle more than big gestures.
