Why You Should See This Film
After premiering at Cannes and scoring Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, we’re pleased to finally bring Arco to Golden Age. Drawing comparisons with the works of Hayao Miyazaki and even René Laloux and Jean “Moebius” Giraud, French comic artist Ugo Bienvenu’s wildly imaginative debut feature is full of wondrous worlds, dazzling illustrations and charming characters but also takes a refreshingly mature and optimistic look at the our grim climate-affected future and dares to believe there’s still chance for humanity and the world in the face of total destruction.
