Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it

- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 3 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Initially commissioned to accompany a Danish production of Alban Berg’s LULU, Lewis Klahr’s cut-out animation refigures the opera's themes in a torrent of images. With an ever-inventive approach to color and symbol, Klahr distills the title character's moral predicament, along with a great many of German Expressionism’s characteristic motifs, in the span of a pop song.
