ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Japanese animation powerhouse Studio Ghibli explores a new creative direction with this realistically drawn feature created in partnership with Dutch animator Michaël Dudok de Wit, who received a Cannes Film Festival Special Jury Prize for his work. Academy Award nominee THE RED TURTLE is tale of a shipwrecked man who establishes a family and a new life on an island inhabited only by majestic animal life is told without dialogue. Time Out raves, "Dudok de Wit modulates our emotions in sophisticated ways, first accessing the awe of The Black Stallion, then straight-up guilt and, finally, an evolution that can't be explained by anything other than hope."

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS

A man is shipwrecked on a deserted island and encounters a red turtle, which changes his life.

"A thoroughly disarming fairy tale, one that initially appears familiar, but eventually reveals itself to be something new, and altogether unexpected."

RogerEbert.com

"THE RED TURTLE practices a minor, gentle magic. It wants you to smile and say, "Ahh."

New York Times

"Dudok de Wit modulates our emotions in sophisticated ways, first accessing the awe of The Black Stallion, then straight-up guilt and, finally, an evolution that can't be explained by anything other than hope."
