At the End of the World van Bronzit maakt het alleen al waard om deze dvd aan te schaffen. Volgens mij is dit de meest hilarische animatiefilm ooit gemaakt. Een prachtig staaltje van slapstick en timing. En als bonus krijg je dan ook nog zulke mooie films als De monnik en de vis van Dudok Dewit, La Grande Migration en de Annecy 2006 winnaar A Tragic Story with a Happy Ending van Regina Pessoa...
The amazing world of Paul Driessen is not to miss. A great animation film maker who dares to experiment within his own style and language. Sometimes resulting in not that good films but luckily most of the time very funny and near genius like in two films on this dvd: The end of the world in four Seasons and The Boy who Saw the Iceberg. For me The boy is Driessens best. It is funny but also very dramatic and touching. Don't miss this film...

If you are an animation professional, you must must must have this one. My only critical note is on the storytelling level. Allthough I like many non-narative films, this one more or less suggest a story that is not realy clear enough for my taste...
I witnessed the Annecy 'premiere' of this film. It was projected on a piece of white linnen on a wall, programmed in between very bad and childish films. The film was rejected for the official competition and thus landed in the selfproclaimed 'reject festival'. It was horrible to see it there because it is such a joy to watch with more care and attention. It is a very personal film. But really tries hard to hide the seriousness and is easily misunderstood (as was done by the programmers in Annec..
