Back in March of this year we posted the trailer for a fifteen minute short film titled simply Aargh. Written, directed and animated by Germany's Philip Hillers the film is a hysterically dry moc-doc about a strange creature known simply as Aargh. The story chronicles his rise to stardom in Japanese monster films before fame goes to Aargh's head and sends him crashing to earth. We meet him on the first day of his new life as a zookeeper in the Berlin Zoo,Well, apparently a dose of the working world was just what Aargh needed to get back on top because the newly hirsute creature is back on screens, this time as the star of a music video by German act Seeed.

Yesterday we shorted you on the weekly Wtf Friday of the Week. Day late, dollar short, but I think this trailer for Aargh will quench your thirst for Wtf-ness. A 15-minute German short film about the day in the life of an ex-star of Japanese monster movies, and I don't mean one of the human actors.
When Avery Guerra forwarded me this trailer earlier this week, I wasn't really sure what to make of it. A brief Googling turned up what little extra info I could find on this oddball short flick from the land that worships Hasselhoff. Directed by Philip Hillers, written by Katharina Hillers, and starring Ulli Voland as "Aargh" - at least from the neck down.

A fifteen minute short film by director Philip Hillers - who also handled all the animation work himself - Aargh is one of the most unique and weirdly compelling things I've come across in a while. With it's very straight documentary take on a very odd character the only thing I can really think to compare it to is Hitoshi Matsumoto's Big Man Japan but these are distant cousins at best. Here's the official synopsis:Aargh. Once a successful actor and a true shooting star in Japan. Today he is beginning his new job at the Berlin zoo. What has happened? He is accompanied by the film crew on his first day of work at the Zoo where he is faced with new colleagues and...
