Cinemaflow enchants with animation without dialogues guided by instinct animalized Oscar and winner of the Golden Globe for Best Animation, news hits Brazilian theaters from this Thursday (20) by newsroom

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

Films such as Studio Ghibli and even Pixar often address deeper plots, characters with more developed characteristics and themes that go beyond simple childhood fun, such as the importance of 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.

FlowerLatvia animation nominated for Oscar 2025 in two categories – best animation and best international film – subverts the viewer’s expectations by focusing on sensory and emotional experience, leaving aside the conventional narrative structure to create an engaging work that breathes through their Images and sounds.

Thus, the project of filmmaker and animator Latto GINTES ZILBALODIS It can involve children and adults with different approaches: to little ones, the beautiful images of animals interacting in a world taken by water; To the elders, the dramatic burden of observing those animals surviving by pure instinct.

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

The choice of Zilbalodis By an approach without dialogues allows the audience – of any age – to plunge into a reflection on life, nature and relationships without the need for an overwhelmed plot of explanations – we do not know what happened in that world, as well as the protagonist of history.

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

This creates an atmosphere where chaos and beauty coexist without great explanation, challenging the idea that characters need to have complex thoughts or anthropomorphic emotions to connect with the public. Its simplicity, especially that of the cat, is touching, for its purity and vulnerability, something that resonates more deeply than usual emotional discourses.

Visual, FlowerIt uses vibrant colors and fluid features to create a world that seems to be in constant transformation, reflecting the very cycle of adaptation that history explores. The design of scenarios transports us to a space where time looks relative, flowing as the characters sail through an immersive and dynamic environment.

The choice of sound and soundtrack also plays a crucial role in 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 almost becomes 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 loneliness 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, genuine connection and empathy have the power to transform even the most challenging situations.
