IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE ALIVE.

Bill is a stick figure whose life is slowly coming apart. As a mysterious illness brings memory lapses, strange visions and an increasingly fractured sense of reality, he struggles to make sense of his existence. Both darkly funny and profoundly moving, this existential journey explores mortality, memory and the fleeting beauty of everyday life.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest animated films ever made, Don Hertzfeldt's "It’s Such a Beautiful Day" combines his award-winning trilogy of shorts into a darkly funny, deeply moving meditation on mortality, memory and the small beauties of ordinary life. Written, directed, animated and narrated by the two-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker himself, the film was captured entirely in-camera using a 1940s 35mm animation stand. The three shorts collectively won more than 90 festival awards, and at the time of its launch on Letterboxd Video Store, the finished feature ranks #107 in Letterboxd’s Official Top 500 Narrative Feature Films and is the community’s second highest-rated animated film of the 2010s. With Hertzfeldt continuing to explore the human condition through his "World of Tomorrow" shorts and latest film "Paper Trail", his most beloved feature arrives exclusively on Letterboxd Video Store.
