Maalbeek is quite the emotional journey, blending animation with a documentary style that really draws you into Sabine's search for lost memories. It plays with the idea of absence—how not remembering something can sometimes be a form of liberation, you know? The pacing is interesting, almost contemplative, allowing time for reflection. The visuals are striking, creating an atmosphere that's both haunting and beautiful. The voice work carries a certain weight, enhancing the sense of longing and discovery. It’s distinctive in how it tackles trauma and memory, presenting these heavy themes in a way that feels personal yet universal.
