Flow: dir Gints Zilbalodis (2024)

An absolutely stunning low-budget (and largely handmade) antidote to Disneyfication – a wordless animated fable about a cat reluctantly making friends with a dog, a ring-tailed lemur, a capybara and a secretary bird in a post-apocalyptic world. There’s a strong message about survival, trust, and finding connection at the end of the world; but the visuals and the drama are what really grab the senses. It deservedly won an Oscar.
