Don Hertzfeldt's 'ME' blends familiar expressive stick figures and disarray from technology while marking a departure as it is entirely musical with no narration, capturing a chaotic journey.
The film opens with a couple having a child during chaotic times. The father’s machine revolutionizes communication but ultimately leads to societal ruin intertwined with existential themes.
Hertzfeldt's characters, represented as simplistic forms, traverse a fragmented narrative reflecting on growth, loss, and the unforeseen consequences of innovation, culminating in a technological meltdown.
'ME' challenges viewers to interpret its meaning, offering a profound reflection on life and technology while intentionally distancing itself from a straightforward narrative about phones.
