Mike McCubbins - The Fall by Albert Camus Animated

Open Culture posted this strange little video - a five minute animation that sort of (?) catches the flavor of Albert Camus's classic novel, The Fall. Here is their introduction to the video (which includes links to some other cool animations).




Mike McCubbins - The Fall by Albert Camus Animated
We have the animation of Ancient classics covered. Oedipus starring vegetables? Check. An animation of Plato’s Cave Allegory narrated by Orson Welles? Check. Another version of the Cave Allegory made with claymation? Yes, we have that too.
Now it’s time for something a little more modern – Mike McCubbins offers an animated adaptation of Albert Camus’ classic, The Fall, published in 1957, the same year that Camus won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his work that “illuminates the problems of the human conscience in our times.” Give McCubbins five minutes and he’ll give you the visual essence of the philosophical novel.
