‘Flow’ Review: Latvia’s International Film Oscar Entry Is Animation Perfection
A review of 'Flow' which played Cannes and now is Latvia's International Oscar race contender, an animated gem like no other
Coming from Latvian animation filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis Flow represents only his second feature film, the first being Away, and in between he has done seven shorts, and in that time has only one of them that had dialogue. Many things happen as the boat flows through the rising waters, engulfing trees, sailing past mysterious statues and towers which are daunting high goals for a cat who seems to be our guide in taking in all of this. There is so much human beings, young and old, will find to relate to themselves in this gorgeously animated movie that does not ever once announce what it is about, what message it is trying to send, but instead just simply flows along to its own fascinating rhythms of life.
