Chronopolis 1982
Chronopolis is one of those "oh yeah, it's cool" films where I'm not sure how many folks I can earnest recommend it too, lol
There's zero dialog. It has a narrative but not really much plot. You're here for the images and animation, which are very striking but also quite deliberately paced. I would not describe this as a "thrilling" watch.

Two parents flee with their twin infants from a host of martial art academies, sect leaders, and rogue warriors who are all in pursuit of the eponymous Holy Flame, a legendary weapon whose mastery would lead to martial supremacy.…
