One thing I loved about La maison en petits cubes is the art, but beware its not for everyone. Why I loved the art so much is that it fit the story so well I couldn't imagine modern art for this or any different art for that matter.
The idea of a town under water and a old man living alone after everyone else had died or left the sunken town is amazing. I won't tell you the synopsis because it's already written, but after the old mans smoke pipe falls in his sunken house he retrieves it only to be blasted by memories and the beautiful soundtrack playing accompanying each tearful memory is enough to rate this a 10.
There was a mystery in this short but after I watched this I noticed that each house he built grew smaller and I guess it was because after his family died or left he built his houses just for him. Also each memory he had was in reverse chronological order, meaning each memory he had, happened in the houses he swam by.
Sorry if I made you cringe at my grammatical errors and I apologize if you're a grammarnazi. I'm can't be the only one that thought what I wrote in the last paragraph but I just wanted to write it.
