Flow Incchants with animation without dialogues guided by animal instinct

Appointed for the Oscar and winner of the Golden Globe for the best entertainment, the news arrives in the Brazilian theaters from this Thursday (20)

Traditionally, animations are associated with children, funny characters, simple stories and light humor, creating an ideal environment to entertain and educate children. The popularity of Disney animated films has consolidated this idea that these productions are an exclusive territory of childhood. However, over time, they started to diversify, exploring more complex themes and techniques, which made them attractive to adults also.

Films such as Studio Ghibli and even Pixar often deal with deeper plots, characters with more developed characteristics and themes that go beyond the simple fun of childhood, such as the importance of the family, existential issues or the impact of technology in the world, transforming Animations in a form of artistic expression that can dialogue with different age groups.

FlowerAnimation of Latvia appointed for Oscar 2025 in two categories – the best animation and the best international film – subverts the spectator’s expectations by focusing on the sensory and emotional experience, leaving aside the conventional narrative structure to create a compelling work that breathes through theirs images and sounds.

Therefore, the project of the director and the animator lacto GinTes Zilboladis It can involve children and adults with different approaches: to the little ones, the beautiful images of animals that interact in a world taken by the water; For the elderly, the dramatic load of observing those animals survives for pure instinct.

Instead of following the usual path of dramatic dialogues and exhibitions, Flower It tells a story of survival and adaptation to adversity in which the simplicity of the interactions between the characters and the environment is what generates maximum depth.

The choice of Zilboladis With an approach without dialogues allows the public – of any age – to immerse yourself in a reflection on life, nature and relationships without the need for an overwhelming plot of explanations – we do not know what happened in that world, as well as the protagonist history .

The animation takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, where the absence of humans is remarkable. The animals are not aware of what is happening around them. They are beings guided by instinct, guided by the need for survival in a hostile scenario.

This creates an atmosphere in which chaos and beauty coexist without great explanations, challenging the idea that the characters must have complex thoughts or anthropomorphic emotions to connect with the public. Its simplicity, in particular that of the cat, is touching, for its purity and vulnerability, something that resonates more deeply of the usual emotional speeches.

Visual, FlowerUse vibrant colors and fluid characteristics to create a world that seems to be in constant transformation, reflecting the cycle itself of adaptation that history explores. The design of the scenarios transports us to a space where time seems relative, which flows while the characters navigate through an immersive and dynamic environment.

The choice of sound and soundtrack also plays a crucial role Flower. Without dialogues to guide emotions, music becomes an extension of tensions and moments of relief from the journey of the characters. This use of music, which becomes almost a separate character, helps to intensify the emotional connection that the film establishes with the public.

The end of FlowerIt is the perfect culmination of a visual and emotional journey that begins with fear and solitude and ends with a deeper understanding of the importance of unity and compassion. In short, the film offers us a reflection on life cycles and how, despite adversity, authentic connection and empathy have the power to transform even the most demanding situations.
