Autumn

About This Movie

So, 'Autumn' (2019) is this animated piece that feels like a melancholic meditation on migration, both of birds and people. The stark gray streets of Paris set a somber tone, almost like the city itself is a character in the film. It’s not flashy or overly stylized; the animation has a hand-drawn quality that gives it some grit. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the themes of displacement and survival. The performances, though animated, have this raw edge, capturing the struggles of illegal immigrants selling shoes—a poignant reminder of the human condition. What strikes me is its ability to evoke emotion with minimal dialogue. It's one of those films that lingers with you long after the credits roll.
