Max, own stretching for HBO and Discovery, has ton From the great films available for viewing on the platform … But now an animated film without dialogue-one of the most popular movies.

Director and conceived GINTS ZILBALODIS, “Stream”, Animated Film Premier at Anenie Film Festival Last summer and serve as a warning about climate change, is nominee on «Oscar Flixpatrol). Although people can look for a computer, dreamy and sometimes surreal film thanks to their Oscar, they are probably pleasantly surprised at how good it is. So, what is the “flow” (which Zilbalodis wrote with Matisa) and why he has no dialogue?

Well, a simple and relatively overwhelming answer about dialogue is that animals cannot talk; Obviously, lot Animated films ignore this real aspect, but “Stream” makes an interesting choice to preserve its inhuman “acting” silence. The first character we meet is a black cat, which is facing the start of dogs fighting the fish in the forest flow, and after the flood of the area, the cat and Labrador retriever manages to escape and eventually be on the boat with Capibara. The lemur joins them soon, and as long as they are all trying to move throughout the flooded world and save any other living things they see, the animals are suddenly connected. So, what critics think about this innovative and aesthetically wonderful film, and how did it earn your place in the movie history?

Critics, unexpectedly, really like “flow”.

(Apparently In her own review“Stream” – “marvelous, perfectly reflected and exciting to the fact that every time the poor cat was invited, I have a knot in my stomach.”) Christie Puchko in Suppress She was also a supporter, as she said, “refusing to retreat to her audience,” Flow “is a animated adventure that is sharp, unique, absolutely wonderful and obligatory.”

Writing for Rocking stoneDavid Fear is the basis of the case explaining That is why “Stream” is such a special animated film. “The real conclusion is that we must rely on each other for salvation,” the fear writes. “And it is here, where this experimental experiment on empathy, environmental activism and raising because of the creative opportunities of the environment too often clutched to sell toys, truly gets into its marks.”

When I write this, the awards of the academy have not yet taken place, so we have no idea or win a “flow”, wins the best animation function – but even it has already won several important awards and Install several records for Latvia, the country that entered it for the academy. This is the first movie from Latvia that won the “Golden Globe New York Times The GINTS ZILBALODIS profile, which took place on February 12, is one of the most popular films in Latvia’s history. .

“Stream” is also the first Latvian film that earned an Oscar nominationAnd, apparently, the country is going to mark an animated film. The Golden Globe, which ZilBalodis accepted in January, is now shown at the Latvian National Museum of Arts in the country of Riga, and, like Agilla, it is “guarded” by CAT. “It’s just a very pleasant morale,” said Zilbaladis Agilla that the award is displayed. “People are tired of bad news, and perhaps this movie is what feels optimistic and hopes for the country’s self -esteem.” Not only that but also according to Message on X (formerly known as Twitter) from Zilbaladis itselfThe cat statue from Flow also adorns the statuette, which now writes “Riga” in the capital.

“There is a real appetite for such films that give me a lot of hope,” Zilbadolis Agillar said before expressing his last hope: “People around the world who may not have heard of Latvia are heard about it now.” Now that the “stream” is available to transfer to Max (and given how many people look), it can just get your wish.
