A lot of fun.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

CURRICULUM VITAE is an art film--the sort that the average person would probably have little interest in seeing. This isn't meant as an insult--just a description of the type of film it is and its goal. So, instead of a traditional narrative, this animated short focuses much more on its artistic style and unusual way presenting life in a secondary school ("gymnasium" is the word used in the film). It's sort of like a condensation of what you should expect to learn there--all flashing past the screen rapidly. Physics, math, lots of art, history, biology, etc. all appear as nice pencil drawings. At the end, there also is a surprise visit from some pop culture icons (such as Popeye and Donald Duck) and it's all very surreal and strange. Still, the film is mesmerizing and interesting if you just turn off your brain and accept it for what it is.
