Review of Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) by Serge L — 28 Jan 2017
This fim is definitely extraordinary in many ways. It's made by englishes but captures the spirit of Japan, according to many japanese people and experts, some working for the film, as we see in the extras.
The story is quite original, although contains some déjà vu elements of epic proportion. The end is on par with the rest of the work, intelligent, humourous, original and beautiful, with lots of sense.
The extraordinary production is stop motion with cgi additions. Really well done, surpassing what I have seen before. I am writing this while listening to the commentary. The commentary is super-licked, it looks like it was written with an incredible amount of details.
It sounds like a sport match description with references to who does or did what. I watched the french version of course. Sorry to the english voices. The french did very well thank you. The whole is overwhelming with high quality work.
