Englouties

About This Movie

‘Englouties’ is this fascinating blend of animation and documentary that captures the eerie beauty of an often overlooked area in Saint-Malo. The film really immerses you in this abandoned part of the port, mostly cut off from the public, and the footbridge that leads there almost feels like a gateway to another world. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the melancholic atmosphere while contemplating the inevitability of change. I found the visuals striking – the animation style juxtaposed with real-life footage creates an unsettling yet alluring vibe. It’s not just about the place, but also about what’s lost and the fragility of memory. There's a unique depth to how it explores themes of accessibility and disappearance.
