The Song of the Sea is an Oscar nominated animated feature directed by Tomm Moore. It is the second installment in Moore’s “Irish Folklore Trilogy”, following his previous film The Secret of Kells and preceding the film Wolfwalkers. All three films are Oscar nominated and have met with huge success on the festival and awards circuit, and the look of this film brings me pure joy it is just so strikingly well balanced between literal and abstract. Almost every frame is lush with details that drive home the script’s incredible emotion, love, beauty, yearning, suffering and peace.
