Summary

Geiser describes The Red Book as "an elliptical, pictographic animated film that uses flat, painted figures and collage elements in both two- and three-dimensional settings to explore the realms of memory, language and identity from the point of view of a woman amnesiac."[4][5]

Legacy

In 2009, it was named to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."[6][7]
