Popeye’s Voyage: The Quest For Pappy is kino in disguise. A true piece of auteur filmmaking hidden behind the mask of a straight-to-VHS children’s film. Towards its ending, it begins exploring iconography that feels Kafkaesque and dabbles in cinematic techniques that to the untrained eye would seem like mistakes and errors, but to a true student of the medium these moments are recognisably part of a directors artistic toolkit. Truly a film of mythic quality.
