Rain

About This Movie

So, 'Rain' from 1989 is quite a fascinating piece. The animation style is really something else, not your typical flashy stuff. It has this somewhat surreal quality that draws you in. The pacing can feel a bit languid, but that matches the overall tone – it’s almost meditative. The themes of isolation and longing are palpable, and there's a sense of melancholy that permeates the whole film. It's interesting how much emotion they convey without much dialogue. The practical effects they employed add a tactile feel that contrasts nicely with the animation. The performances, especially considering they're animated, feel very grounded and genuine. There's a uniqueness in how it approaches storytelling that sets it apart from more mainstream offerings.
