On movie night we watched a fantastic animated adventure film called "Flow". It's set in a beautiful fantasy world that has a lot in common with earth, too much to be immediately noticeable. All the characters are animals we have on earth, but the geography is not clear. A lemur would have you believe it is set on Madagascar; a capybara South America; Italian architecture coupled with Tibetan temples, huh? Plus, a natural disaster that isn't physically possible, unless an asteroid struck Antarctica. Certainly, it was a fantasy world, that even had humans before some other apocalyptic event rendered them extinct.
The best thing about it is there are no words. Too many movies these days have rushed dialogue that sounds too forced, even the good ones. The film proves you don't need words to tell a great story. The lack of dialogue also challenges you to think more about what is going on. "Flow" is the first film I will rate 10/10 on IMDB in a long time.
