Dudok de Wit and Ghibli have birthed a pan-continental marvel: a fable-cum-fantasy of a life adrift, aching with tender beauty and awed by nature’s extremes.
The Red Turtle is a stunning, life-affirming animation that's worthy of the esteemed Ghibli brand.
The film, co-produced by Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli, has a dream-like quality and an air of mystery.
This Studio Ghibli co-production with its zen-like minimalism offers a magical, meditative take on Robinson Crusoe.
It’s a film about loneliness and the steps we take to overcome it, wrapped up in a delightfully simple story for all ages.
A languorously paced, elegantly animated fable of life’s cyclicality.
Refreshingly different and highly recommended, especially if you have ever watched in awe as David Attenborough explains our wonderful world.
This wordless animated fable follows the fortunes of a shipwrecked man on an island – and it’s a masterpiece.
