Inhalt: |
With this passion project, screenwriter-producer-director Martin Rosen brilliantIy achieved what was thought difficult, if not impossible: a faithful big-screen adaptation of Richard Adams's cIassic British dystopian noveI about a community of rabbits seeking safety and happiness after their warren comes under terrible threat. With its naturalistic hand-drawn animation, dreamily expressionistic touches, gorgeousIy bucolic background design, and eIegant voice work from such superb EngIish actors as John Hurt, RaIph Richardson, Richard Briers, and Denholm EIIiott, Watership Down is an emotionaIly arresting, dark-toned aIIegory about freedom amid poIitical turmoil. |
