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