Every Studio Ghibli Movie Ranked Worst To Best
11. The Red Turtle (2016)
In partnership with French film studio Wild Bunch and Dutch filmmaker Michaël Dudok de Wit, Studio Ghibli brought to life their most lyrical and metaphorical project to date.
Set on a desert island where a recently shipwrecked man meets a red turtle with a confounding secret, The Red Turtle is richly animated with bright colour and vivid textures that bring to mind Ghibli's fascination with nature.
It's a deceptively simple tale of love and identity, but the silent drama's attempts to depict our volatile relationship with the natural world makes it much more rewarding than expected by the movie's rousing finale.
Hauntingly beautiful, sad, and breathtaking, The Red Turtle is Ghibli working at the height of their powers to tell a story as important as it is unique. It's not one any lover of film should miss.
