Song of the Flies

About This Movie

Song of the Flies is quite an intriguing piece, you know? It’s this experimental animation that dives deep into the scars of Colombia’s armed conflict, all through the lens of Maria Mercedes Carranza’s poetry. The way it weaves the voices of nine Colombian women really gives it a unique texture. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, with a haunting atmosphere that stays with you long after. The visuals are striking, not your typical animation fare. They blend various styles that enhance the narrative rather than distract. It’s the kind of film that invites reflection, making you sit with the heaviness of its themes. A distinctive take on art and war’s aftermath, definitely worth exploring for anyone into nuanced storytelling.
