FLEE tells the extraordinary true story of a man, Amin, on the verge of marriage which compels him to reveal his hidden past for the first time.
It’s rare that you see the medium utilized to this degree and with this level of skill – as if the animation has sprung from Amin’s teen mind itself in a pop-art-meets-comic-strip form.
★★★★★
In the end, this is a well-drawn depiction of what happens to a person who is rendered rootless, and is left to live perpetually on the defensive.
★★★★
Documentary realism rarely goes hand-in-hand with animated un-reality, but in Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s Flee, those two aesthetic worlds collide and create a feeling of being unmoored.
