Leviathan

About This Movie

Leviathan (2021) is an intriguing blend of animation that really plays with the idea of duality. The visuals are almost dreamlike, shifting between vibrant colors and darker, more muted tones. It feels like a contemplative exploration of existence, with that mantra about above and below echoing throughout. The pacing is deliberately slow, which lets you soak in the atmosphere, almost meditative at times. The character designs, those quirky birdos and fishies, add a whimsical touch that contrasts with the deeper themes. There’s something about the artistry, it feels distinct, maybe even handmade in some sense, giving it a unique charm. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.
