Flow Doesn't Need Dialogue To Tell a Compelling Story of Animals in Danger

The latest from Latvian animator Gints Zilbalodis is a marvel of sparse storytelling and a welcome reprieve from the tired Disney formula.

BTW, it's good to see David's writing again, but NYT"s integration of The Athletic into their website seriously sucks. This article does not show up in a search of the NYT site, even though the paper no longer has its own sports section, and the Athletic portion of the site makes you pick a goddamn team/league'/sport to follow before they'll get you into the actual site.For those of us who don't give a shit about sports, it was stunningly annoying.
