With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anime fans and animation lovers. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 3 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Enigma is something of a more glamorous version of White Hole, with a wide variety of elaborate textures (often composed of iconographic and religious symbols) converging towards the centre of the screen.
