The Flood

About This Movie

The Flood is quite the peculiar animation, really. It dives deep—pun intended—into the psyche of a man who, rather literally, ignores the rising tide of his issues. The tone is both whimsical and unsettling, a balance that keeps you on your toes. The animation style has this sort of rough charm that suits the themes of procrastination and avoidance perfectly. It feels almost dreamlike at times, with a pacing that mirrors the slow creep of water, as our protagonist's stubbornness leads him deeper into his own mess. The practical effects used add a tactile quality that’s refreshing in a digital world. It’s this mix of humor and despair that makes it a distinctive piece to have in any collection, if you're into the more offbeat narratives.
