Description
A dialogue-free animated feature from Studio Ghibli and Dutch director Michaël Dudok de Wit, The Red Turtle follows a man shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island who attempts to escape by sea — only to have his raft repeatedly destroyed by an unseen force in the water. When a giant red turtle appears, his struggle for freedom transforms into something unexpected and profound: a film about solitude, wonder, love, and the cycle of life, rendered in luminous hand-drawn animation. Winner of the Special Un Certain Regard Prize at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
