While I was taken on a wild ride and as one who is terrible remembering names, I had to love this. The principle character meets a man who recognizes him, but our guy hasn't a clue who he is. So we are brought into his subconscious to see if a surrealistic game show can pull the name out. Easier said than done. It is a wonderfully chaotic journey through the synapses.

Landreth on television
Horst_In_Translation2 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
"Subconscious Password" is an 11-minute short film by Oscar-winning writer and director Chris Landreth and this 2013 film is his most recent work. It got on the short list for the Oscars again too I think, but did not manage to get in finally this time. If you know a bit about Landreth, you will know that this is an animated movie, although there is a live action impact in here too. And here, Landreth gives us his take on famous people and the absurdity that is television. But there is always some strangeness attached to Landreth's projects too and this one here is not an exception. It is a very bizarre watch. sadly, I must say it was just too wild and all over the place for my taste and I did not find it entertaining or memorable. I have seen some better work by the filmmaker and I don't think you should watch this one here without having seen any of his older work.
embarassing situation
Kirpianuscus16 September 2023
A familiar situation , source of anxiety - a friend , meet at a party; his name remains, against hard efforts, forlorn.
The solution is pure unrealistic but provocative at whole. A gallery of personalities - and a legendary monster , imagination and return to state of baby . And the nice travel to the precious answer.
So, eccentric and strange and cool.
In essence, a sort of unconventional adventure, realistic in some measure, courageous and pretty seductive , reminding embarrasing moments and strange situations with a presumed quasi happy end and a good drink as an encounter in Paris with John.
