| Summary |
The revered Studio Ghibli (*Spirited Away*) joined forces with artist Michaël Dudok de Wit to create this stunning **Oscar**-nominated animated fable set on a desert island. A shipwrecked sailor washes ashore and explores his new home. He finds a sandy beach fringed by palm trees, a swaying bamboo forest, freshwater pools and a rocky incline. It's an earthly paradise that our lanky castaway is desperate to leave, but his escape plans are mysteriously thwarted. It's a simple story, akin to fairy tales or myths, illustrated in exquisite line and colour, with spectacular dream sequences. Nominated for Best Animated Feature Film of the Year at the **Academy Awards**. Winner of Un Certain Regard - Special Jury Prize at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for the Discovery Award for Best Film at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"THE RED TURTLE is a work of art as universal in theme and reach as diverse as the French, Japanese and Dutch influences of its production. It delights in the symbiosis of man and nature, and the circle of life we all share.. " - Matthew Anderson, **CineVue*** |
