“I have seen lions on the beaches in the evening...” - The Old Man (Gordon Pinsent)
Stunningly beautiful animation by Russian Aleksandr Petrov, this time based on Hemingways famous story. A fisherman reflects on what made him the man he became, and how his catch is equally as noble as he.
Wow and wow again... Petrov delivers another visual and aural tour de force, that looks like a John Constable painting brought to life. Simply 20 minutes of perfection, it must have looked truly amazing in IMAX.
[Personal Reasons For Remembering]
Captures the sea and clouds so well, the fishermans line breaking the waves really stands out, as does the glimmer of the moon onto the seas creatures during the night scene.
