Mémo

About This Movie

So, 'Mémo' is this animated gem from Éléna Dupressoir that dives into the intricacies of familial relationships, especially the tug-of-war between independence and care. You really get a sense of Louis’s struggle against his daughter Nina’s protectiveness; it’s raw but tender. The animation style has this soft, almost watercolor quality that adds to the emotional weight—it feels like you're watching memories float by. Pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the nuances of their interactions. The voice performances are quite nuanced, drawing you in as the characters navigate their shared history. It might not be flashy, but it’s in those subtle moments where it shines, really exploring themes of aging and autonomy in a heartfelt way.
