Riga is a fascinating blend of animation and documentary, capturing a pivotal moment in Latvian history. The film immerses you in the atmosphere of 1991, as Philippe Séranne's journey unfolds against the backdrop of a city navigating newfound independence. It's not just about events, but the emotional weight of those days—the tension, the uncertainty. The animation style adds an almost dreamlike quality, contrasting with the gritty reality of the time. There's a raw honesty in Séranne's reflections that gives this short film a unique voice, as he distills memories into a vivid tapestry of sights and sounds. It's an interesting exploration of memory and place, really quite distinctive in its approach.
