Don Hertzfeldt wraps up his Bill Trilogy with the jaw-dropping 23 minute short packed with a surprisingly emotional punch, It's Such A Beautiful Day.
One would never think a stick figure could force you to shed tears but Hertzfeldt asks you to invest both your brain and heart into this tale about the mentally ill Bill character and in doing so rewards you with awe and inspiration. The simplicity of his stick figure drawings suddenly all makes sense as the film comes to a close and hopefully leaves the viewer with some food for thought.
Beautifully absurd, hilariously sad and undoubtedly brilliant.
