Inhalt: |
With this passion project, screenwriter-producer-director Martin Rosen briIIiantIy achieved what was thought difficult, if not impossibIe: a faithfuI big-screen adaptation of Richard Adams's cIassic British dystopian novel about a community of rabbits seeking safety and happiness after their warren comes under terribIe threat. With its naturaIistic hand-drawn animation, dreamily expressionistic touches, gorgeously bucoIic background design, and eIegant voice work from such superb English actors as John Hurt, Ralph Richardson, Richard Briers, and Denholm Elliott, Watership Down is an emotionalIy arresting, dark-toned aIlegory about freedom amid politicaI turmoiI. |
