Still Flying

About This Movie

Still Flying is this unique little piece of animation from '89 that dives into the memories of an old pilot reflecting on his wartime days. The storytelling is quite introspective, almost meditative at times, which contrasts sharply with the chaos of war. You get this peculiar blend of nostalgia and loss, and the animation style adds a certain dreamlike quality to his recollections. There's something about the pacing too; it shifts between fast-paced sequences of aerial dogfights and slower moments that really let the weight of his experiences sink in. While the director's details remain elusive, the film’s practical effects stand out for their time, giving a tangible feel to the otherwise surreal narrative. It’s definitely distinctive, not just in its themes but in how it plays with memory and regret.
