The Aroma of Tea is a 2006 Dutch animated short film made by Michaël Dudok de Wit. It shows how a small sphere travels in a determined and rhythmical manner through landscapes, emerging at the end into a larger sphere of white light. Both the graphic brushstroke and the music, with its haunting rhythms, are strikingly simple and direct. The theme of the film, a quest followed by a union, is as old as time and recognizable despite its limitless variations.

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
dpolwatte With Michael Dudok De Wit creating his "The Red Turtle (2016)" as his major feature animation film, I thought of watching some of his earlier short animation films.These are very unique to him. You'll notice when reading the relevant reviews.An experimentation of infusion of Mr. Dudok de wit's tradition of animation in a massive way expanding the embedded nature of animation with great violin music into extreme abstraction of his animation is commendable.In my opinion in the outer perspective this short animation may reflect on the preparation of tea and a microscopic vision of one tiny tea particle moving around the hot tea water.Or like always this may reflect the smaller and tiny nature of human life as depicted in his other short films in a niche or micro perspective in my opinion in comparison to the external world or universe as per the animator.
