About This Movie

So, 'Poēm pa kulšen' is a fascinating piece of animation from 2004, directed by Jānis Cimmermanis. It dives into this rich cultural tapestry surrounding grain threshing in Kurzeme, capturing not just the human experience but also the stories of the little animals that share their lives. The animation style is quite unique, blending traditional techniques with a whimsical approach that breathes life into the characters. You can really feel the rhythm of the seasons and the labor that goes into this age-old tradition. The pacing has this gentle flow, pulling you into its world, and there's a certain warmth that lingers long after the film ends. It’s not just about the visuals; it’s also about the heartbeat of rural life.
