It Wasn't Bourgogne

About This Movie

So, 'It Wasn't Bourgogne' is one of those animated films that really stands apart. The narrative's driven by a grandfather's memories, which creates this intimate, reflective atmosphere. It’s a blend of personal history and the weight of war, you know? The animation style isn’t flashy but has this raw, almost hand-drawn feel that complements the storytelling. The pacing is slow, allowing those poignant moments to sink in. The themes of memory, loss, and nostalgia are heavy, but they’re handled with a delicate touch. The performances, if you can call them that in animation, have this sincerity that pulls you in. It’s quite distinctive in how it reframes a war story through personal recollection, making it feel more relatable than you'd expect.
