Following Flaubert is a curious blend of documentary and storytelling, tracing the footsteps of a young Gustave Flaubert during his trip to Corsica in 1840. The film meanders through the landscapes that inspired his thoughts, almost like a visual diary. What stands out is how it marries his youthful observations with the natural beauty of the island. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to linger on certain visuals, which gives you time to soak in the atmosphere. The film doesn’t rely heavily on interviews or traditional narration; instead, it feels like an exploration of Flaubert's imagination, and that makes it quite distinct in its approach. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain charm in its simplicity and the way it reflects on the creative process.
