Notes on…

The Red Turtle(2016)

Dir. Directed by Michael Dudok de Wit

This entirely dialogue-less film follows the major life stages of a castaway on a deserted tropical island populated by various turtles, crabs and birds. Watching it during lockdown, I found it especially moving after reading real-world themes of climate disaster and cultural extinction into the movie.
