Three Paradoxes

My introduction to Paul Hornschemeier is through the Comedy Bang Bang title credits and accordingly I expected a humorous air to Three Paradoxes. It does have some funny parts - like the ancient philosophers making fun of Zeno's titular paradoxes - but mostly it plays things straight as a low-key, introspective, wistful, semi-autobiographical piece. Hornschemeier uses a variety of different artistic styles for different sections, from realistic to cartoon-strip, showing a real mastery of the form.
