Just when we thought that cat content was old news, along comes this animated film to leave us speechless. Winner of four awards at Annecy and screened at Un Certain Regard at Cannes, Flow immerses us (quite literally) in a hypnotic experience: a flood of biblical proportions forces Cat, – a private puss, much like all his feline friends – to share refuge with other species in a sort of Noah’s ark. After his prodigious debut, Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis takes another step forward in silent storytelling with this introspective odyssey, celebrated for its remarkable visual fluidity and signalling a future master of the genre.
