Movie No. 27 (2017): THE RED TURTLE

The Red Turtle (a.k.a. La Tortue Rouge) (2016)
Director: Michael Dudok De Wit
Animated film

The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature early this year.

The movie is about a man who gets washed away in an uninhabited remote island. Every time he tries to to leave the island, his makeshift raft gets destroyed by a mysterious sea creature, a red turtle. The turtle is indeed mysterious since it will become part of his accidental exile in the island.

The movie is practically without any dialogue. But, despite the absence of dialogue, the narrative is crystal clear and it is fluid. Not a single scene is wasted. The story is classic, magical, and unforgettable.
