Flight

About This Movie

So, 'Flight' from 2011, it's a curious piece, really. The story unfolds on a train where a woman gets lost in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The animation is quite distinct; it’s not your typical style. They blend the myth of Ceyx and Alcyone with her own memories, which creates this nice interplay between past and present. You can feel the weight of nostalgia in her expressions, and the pacing is contemplative, almost meditative. The practical effects are subtle but effective, enhancing the dreamlike quality of her journey. It’s introspective, and while the animation is the draw, the themes of transformation are what linger with you long after the credits roll.
