Sauna

About This Movie

Sauna (2021) is a fascinating exploration of vulnerability and self-discovery through animation. The film throws Ava into the intense, almost surreal world of a sauna, where the combination of heat and nudity becomes a backdrop for her introspection. The pacing is deliberate; you really feel the oppressive warmth and the weight of her thoughts. The visuals are striking, with a unique blend of colors that enhance the oppressive atmosphere. It might play out like a simple narrative, but it's all about the sensations and the gradual dissolve into ecstasy. It's like watching a personal journey unfold, heightened by the practical effects that draw you into this intimate space. Not your typical animation, that's for sure.
