    storytelling doesn’t need words, not necessary emotional music either (like in this film there was a lot). I was on the edge of my seat, often feeling strong emotions like scared, sad, amused, curious, desperate, and also hopeful. flow leaned on togetherness and creative survival.

    as a viewer I kept constantly hoping for periods of ease and lightness, but as an afterthought i wonder that maybe I should instead practise dealing with the discomfort and sadness of the climate catastrophy and practise my survival skills.

    confusing, entertaining, mist, jumps, lizards, caskets, secrets, shining neon eyes, clinks and clonks of swords, explosions, bright blood & most weird laughters.

    also who…
