Review: ‘Patience of the Memory’

* Director: Vuk Jevremovic

* Length: 6 minutes, 29 seconds

“Patience of the Memory” is an animated short that utilizes various paintings, drawings and sketches of the city of Dresden by “bringing them to life.” It does this by making the images dance and flash, accompanied by a sound track that is oddly soothing. To say watching it was a psychedelic experience would be like saying that a bird has wings. Obvious.

“Patience” has something much more to it than that. It worms its way into your head and stays there for a while. The arrangement of the pictures in conjunction with the arrangement of the music allows for a very melancholy viewing experience. It either puts you in a mood to listen to Pink Floyd, or to sit and ponder if what you just saw actually meant something, or was merely just a montage of cool images. It definitely meant something to me, although what I’m not entirely sure. Maybe that was the point.
