Venice Film Festival: review of the film Scarlet
Directed by Mamoru Hosoda
Hateshinaki Scarlet, an animated fairy tale
Scarlett presents a Shakespearean animation for the power intrigues it develops in the plot, but also a dreamlike fairy tale that transcends time. An adventure that will lead the young and enterprising Scarlett to discover the value of peace and the abandonment of tones of vengeance.
Scarlet is a medieval princess, expert swordswoman, who wishes to avenge her father's death but falls asleep after ingesting poison administered by her uncle, responsible for the intrigue that led to her father's execution. She finds herself in a limbo, neither dead nor alive, where eras and time blur together, where she must face her own demons and rediscover the true values that make her a princess guiding her people.
Mamoru Hosoda's direction launches the provocation of peace in a society founded on conflicts and condemns the greed of those who proclaim themselves great but generate suffering. Dramatically current themes.
Peace as the responsibility of generations, which should be built throughout history, condemns the inability to correct past mistakes and the hatred that continues to generate them, doing so with visually evocative direction, with vivid images and powerful sequences.
