It’s episode 119 Film and TV score composer Anne Nikitin and Ben from Excuse the Mess podcast join Flixwatcher to review the Thom Yorke and Paul Thomas Anderson collaboration Anima.
Anima is the third solo album from Thom Yorke, it is also a short 15 minute film featuring the tracks Not the News, Traffic and Dawn Chorus. As you’d expect from Thom Yorke Anima is a surreal, dreamlike journey that starts of a dreary, commuter train and ends with hope (?) on a bus in the morning light and in between there is gravity defying dancing.
