Wikipedia article'Ah, L The cartoon is a satire of toxic men. In it, a pickup artist is violently torn apart by the women he targets, viewed only through his own one-sided, ridiculously misogynistic point of view. Hertzfeldt plays the part of a mentally unwell animator who's losing his grip on his sanity while animating, an idea he'd later revisit in other early "meta" shorts 'Genre' and 'Rejected'. The soundtrack is acoustic guitar music, performed by Hertzfeldt on a boom box in his dorm room. ReleaseIn the 1990s, the cartoon screened nationwide in theaters as part of the Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation tour. In 2005, the original 16mm negative was digitally restored and remastered for release on the extensive "Bitter Films Volume 1" DVD compilation of Hertzfeldt's 1995-2005 films. For the DVD, Hertzfeldt performed an alternate guitar soundtrack as a special feature, approximately 10 years after recording the original. Other special features for 'Ah L'Amour' include Don's original production sketches and notes, as well as a very rare 1993 video short that Don created in high school that is a precursor to the film.
