Flow (out Mar 20) is a Latvian animated feature, with zero dialogue, made using open-source 3D computer graphics available to the public. That not selling it? Should I mention that it won the Academy Award for best animated film?!?! It’s the tale of a black cat trying to find their way to higher ground when a devastating flood sweeps through its forested home. With stunning visuals and a surprisingly moving story, this is memorable cinema. Grade: A-.
