The wondrous, breathtaking odyssey of a young cat who, along with her companions, embarks on a search for dry land in a flooded world.
A truly stunning and deeply moving rollercoaster of an adventure. Humanity has vanished, but the cat doesn’t seem to mind. The house with the cozy bed is still there, and the river is teeming with fish. That is, until the water begins to rise—rapidly. Narrowly escaping, the cat finds refuge on a passing sailboat. Along the way, a capybara, a dog, a lemur, and a bird join her. Together, they form an unlikely band of travelers who must learn to survive in this awe-inspiring new world.
Though Flow is only his second film, the extraordinarily talented Gints Zilbalodis is already being hailed as the worthy successor to Hayao Miyazaki. In Flow, he conjures a mythical, majestic world of sunken ruins, devastating storms, and emerging forests. The animals and their magical journey symbolize something greater while remaining strikingly authentic. To capture their behavior and interactions as realistically as possible, the animators studied hundreds of cat and animal videos.
This groundbreaking animated film, a strong contender on every Oscar shortlist, has drawn superlatives from international critics and leaves audiences of all ages in awe. In many ways, Flow is the most extraordinary film of the year.
