Pablo Berger, Sara Varon
Critically acclaimed & Oscar nominated this bittersweet buddy movie is one of the best animated films in years.
It may come as a surprise to find that one of the most achingly beautiful stories of love and loss that you’ll see this — or any — year involves a dog, a robot, and a bit of rust. Robot Dreams is a film based on the enchanting 2007 graphic novel by Sara Varon, given new life for the big screen in glorious 2D animation by Pablo Berger. Like its source, it’s told wordlessly but is full of incident, imagination and, above all, emotion.
A thoughtful, elegiac tone fits unexpectedly well with the childishly bold design.
