Koko-di Koko-da
Elin und Tobias waren mal glücklich. So richtig glücklich. Vor vielen Jahren. Aber seitdem ist zu viel passiert, zu viel ist verloren gegangen. Ein gemeinsamer Zelturlaub soll retten, was zu retten ist. Aber gleich in der ersten Nacht schält sich ein Trio grotesker Figuren aus dem Finsterwald und attackiert das Paar, alldieweil ein Kinderlied singend. @Koko-di Koko-da@ ist albtraumhafte Familienaufstellung als exzentrisches und experimentelles Kunsthorrorstück inklusive Animationssequenzen und Schattierungen von Torture Porn und Slapstick-Comedy: schwer zu kategorisieren und lange nachwirkend. (Markus Keuschnigg)
Writer-director Johannes Nyholm’s fable about grief is at once brutal and childlike, a horror-show that hums along to a nursery rhyme that gives @Koko-di Koko-da@ its name. Not that children should be allowed anywhere near Nyholm’s bloody nihilism, where even his handmade cartoons of a bunny family bouncing around a monochromatic forest could give a kid nightmares. Nyholm uses every tool to make people anxious, from the way Elin rages at Tobias for buying her the wrong ice cream flavor to the buzzing mosquito sounds he adds to their tent for an extra twist of tension. (Amy Nicholson, Variety)
