Carnation

About This Movie

Carnation is an intriguing blend of animation and fantasy that weaves together the innocence of childhood with the stark realities of loss. The film's pacing is deliberately slow, mirroring the dreamy atmosphere of Karanfil Kız's journey. The visuals are striking, with a hand-drawn aesthetic that feels nostalgic yet fresh. Themes of searching and longing are explored deeply, making for a poignant experience. The mother-daughter relationship shines through the storytelling, adding layers to the narrative. I find the practical effects used in certain dream sequences really enhance the surreal quality of Karanfil Kız's world. The performances, though animated, carry a weight that resonates long after the credits roll. It’s a unique piece that stands out in modern animation.

Animation style reminiscent of classic fairy tales. · Explores deep emotional themes subtly. · Perfect film for those who appreciate artistic storytelling.
