About This Movie

I Follow Rivers is this intriguing piece of experimental animation that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a dream, or maybe a meditation. The visuals are all about nature—think leaves and flowers gathered by a river, but it’s not just pretty pictures. The way Saito Kohei plays with movement and texture creates a fluidity that pulls you in. The pacing can feel slow, but that’s the point; it allows you to linger on each frame and really absorb the atmosphere. There’s something almost haunting about it, as if the visuals are whispering stories. It’s distinct in its simplicity, yet there’s complexity in the emotions it evokes, making it a unique experience in the realm of animation.
