The God (2003)

existential slapstickcosmic pettydivine incompetence

Overview

AnimationComedy

The film shows Shiva in a very traditional representation--in bronze and standing within a circle of bronze flames. Suddenly, a fly lands on Shiva's arm--one of many arms to be exact. Slowly, the bronze statue comes alive and swats the fly--missing again and again and eventually smashing the bronze circle.

Trivia

Konstantin Bronzit made this between bigger projects—it took 9 months for 4 minutes of bronze-smashing perfection.

Cultural

The multi-armed Shiva Nataraja traditionally represents cosmic balance; Bronzit turns him into a frustrated office worker with too many coffee cups.
