The Red Turtle
Directed by Michaël Dudok de Wit
2016
The Red Turtle is an animated fantasy film. The film uses a blend of hand-drawn and computer animation and has no dialogue. The visuals are stunningly lavish, and the story is an enigmatic fairytale. The film, though, somehow, always appears on the verge of achieving something more than it does.
Would see.

The sense of awe before the power of nature and the allegorical comment on the nature of life are, sometimes, more sketched out than truly felt.

The magic of The Red Turtle ultimately comes down to the miracle of organic matter’s transformative recycling. Life always finds a way, and death is always a part of that.
