Flight

About This Movie

So, 'Envol' is really an interesting piece, you know? It’s this animated project that came together during the French lockdown, which gives it quite a unique context. The film uses those classic images by Muybridge—those early frames of a bird in flight. It’s fascinating how they’ve taken something so historical and infused it with a modern sensibility. The pacing is pretty meditative, allowing you to linger on the visuals. You can feel the confinement of the lockdown reflected in the way the animation flows. There’s a certain poetry to it. The atmosphere is both serene and contemplative, making you think about freedom in a different light. Definitely a distinctive take on animation, not your usual fare.
