As the ‘flow’ progresses, the world where our ‘giant’ once stood gradually fades away, replaced by their inner worlds. Our ‘giant’ continues to advance endlessly, questioning the relationship between the world and oneself.
The enveloping, fluid movement of the camera through the luminous environments creates the illusion that the events are occurring spontaneously in front of us despite being impeccably orchestrated to the most minute detail. Zilbalodis’ animation style replicates life’s unpredictability with a dazzling naturalness, following the creatures in long takes that go from water to the safety of their boat without ever leaving their side. The artists’ detailed confection of the lush greenery, the architecture, and the texture of the water has a staggering effect, somewhere between painterly and lifelike.
