I’ve written about Bruno Bozzetto before, but with the passing of Pluto (didja see our nifty tee?), I thought it might be a good time to revisit the master, and check out his wonderful little piece called “Life.”
For those who aren’t yet familiar with his work, Bruno Bozzetto was born in Milan in 1938, and is one of Italy’s most talented animators and cartoonists. As you’ll see in “Life,” or any of the others on his website, his forte is satire, often of a political nature. (To see all his flash films, go here.)
In addition to loving his cartoons, I also happen to be a big fan of the composer he often works with, Roberto Frattini, who scored “Life,” as well as nine others.
Thanks for turning me on to this site. I remember seeing BB’s animated “Europe and Italy” a few yrs. back. Now that I have him on favorites, I will try to keep watching.
