   When Studio Ghibli calls you and wants to distribute your animated short AND give you money and expertise to make a feature film, you say yes. Such was the fate of Michael Dudok de Wit; the result is The Red Turtle, a heart-breaking fairy tale with shades of The Little Mermaid, in which a castaway finds himself on a deserted island with little more than some absolutely adorable (though realistic) crabs, his attempts at escape stymied by a large red turtle who becomes his nemesis until he realizes what it really wants from him. A moving film without any dialog, it never can explain its conceits directly, but makes them clear poetically, several times through dream sequences that manifest the character's emotional state. It is a film about our connection with nature, and our place in it, both for the good and the bad, but I can't claim to have cracked its code in a single sitting. I can only urge you to see it. 7 years 5 months ago

   Beautiful and rewarding, especially if you don't approach it expecting a tight plot. 7 years 3 months ago
