Review of Giovanni's Island (2014) by Late R — 15 Mar 2016
Fantastic animation film from Japan, looking at the aftermath of Second World War on a small island occupied by the Russians. An epic journey of two siblings reminded me of the classic 'Grave of the Fireflies'.
While it doesn't reach that height, it is still a poignant and sentimental tale of family bond and the pain of being uprooted from your home. Elegantly drawn and acted.
