Asterix: The Mansion of the Gods (2014)
Nov 5, 2015Animation/Comic-Book Character
The best among the films made from the Asterix comics. This delivers the characters and the visual humour the way they should be, plus leaves the sly satiric wit of the originals intact with side-splitting results
The Red Turtle (2016)
Oct 10, 2016Animation/Castaway Befriends Turtle Woman
Studio Ghibli's first ever international co-production. A desert island castaway fantasy, this makes interesting comparison to the recent Robinson Crusoe/The Wild Life, even if both films are poles apart in style. This is dialogueless, spare and contained with a minimalism of plot and drama
