A student film by Giovanni Munari and Dalila Rovazzani elaborates
beautifully on the dreary (and sometimes dreadful) subject of
arithmetic.
The two Italian directors utilise Ravel's opera, L' enfant et les sortilèges (The Child and the Spells) to create a visually enchanting universe.
A boy starts doing his math homework,
but he never gets past the first few problems. Suddenly, spilt ink is
transformed into an old bearded man, who transfers the boy to a stylish
world of huge numbers and black-and-white situations.
Arithmetique feels like a vintage, warm-colored study of the creativity struggle.
