Bottomless Belly Button

SHAW, DASH

Brief Description:
Quaker graphic artist Dash Shaw's comedy-drama that follows the dysfunctional adventures of the Loony Family. After 40 years of marriage, Maggie and David Loony shock their children with their announcement of a planned divorce. In a six-day period rich with atmospheric sequences, the family stumbles blindly around one another, often ignoring their surroundings and consumed by their own daily conflicts. Visually, Shaw employs a leisurely storytelling pace that allows room for exploring the interconnecting relationships among the characters and plays to his strength as a cartoonist, small gestural details and nuanced expressions that bring the characters to vivid and intimate life.
