The Beast Is Still Alive blends animation with documentary in a uniquely poignant way. It follows a young Bulgarian girl as she sifts through her grandfather's complex history against the backdrop of communism's downfall. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of the past while exploring deeply personal themes of memory and identity. The animation style, although understated, complements the rawness of the narrative beautifully. It feels like a personal journey, not just a historical recounting. There’s a certain haunting quality to the visuals that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s those small moments, the details of her grandfather's life that really resonate. Definitely a distinctive take on a turbulent period, not your usual animated fare.
