Fisheye ( Croatian: Riblje oko) is a 1980 animated short film by Joško Marušić for Zagreb Film. The film is a part of the National Film Collection, preserved by the Croatian State Archives. [1]

Synopsis and development

Fisheye depicts a natural reverse in which fish-like monsters invade a bleak coastal village, capturing and killing all of the inhabitants (women and children) through clubbing or maiming, after the fishermen leave for their daily catch. [2] [3] The visuals are executed with a woodcut-like quality, with a score by Ivica Simović utilizing a twelve-tone technique consisting of seven cellos. [4]

Reception

Stanislav Matacic, writing for International Psychoanalytical Association, describes it as a horror film using a unique art style and a Hitchcock-like soundtrack, praising it as a timeless piece of art. [5] Dan Piepenbring [ de], writing for The Paris Review, described it as an inspiring blend of macabre and mundane. [3] It won the award for Best Short Film Director at Sitges Film Festival in 1980. [6]
