Weekly Eye Candy: Tatia Rosenthal’s Crazy Glue

Before Tatia Rosenthal‘s celebrated stop motion animated feature film $9.99 (which hits theaters today and was featured at TIFF), the director crafted a pair of shorts, A Buck’s Worth was featured at the Sundance Film Festival, while her first piece (an NYU thesis project) dates back to 1998. This week’s Eye Candy looks back at her humble debut Crazy Glue.

Co-written with Etgar Keret (the first of what will be tons of collaborations if you break down $9.99 into the collection of short stories), Crazy Glue earns its name from the popular glue device and will remind some of us of those of that crazy television commercial that boggled the mind. However, as you’ll witness below, this is an accomplished piece of work that shows a reconciliation attempt from a wife who has grown apart from her husband.

Have any of you seen $9.99? What do you think about the short film below?
