Inhalt: |
With this passion project, screenwriter-producer-director Martin Rosen brilIiantIy achieved what was thought difficult, if not impossibIe: 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 terribIe threat. With its naturaIistic hand-drawn animation, dreamiIy expressionistic touches, gorgeousIy bucolic 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 allegory about freedom amid politicaI turmoiI. |
