What it’s about. A Chaplinesque mime goes through the pixilated motions of his workaday existence. Functioning inside a black frame that manipulates him and restricts him to his daily routine, he struggles to free himself. Through an act of creative energy, he stands his life on end and starts anew. A wonderfully fresh and freewheeling film that tells a serious story lightly.
How it landed. With an audience score of 10.0/10, Bounds sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
