With this passion project, Martin Rosen brilliantly achieved what had been thought nearly impossible: a faithful big-screen adaptation of Richard Adams’s classic British dystopian novel about a community of rabbits under terrible threat from modern forces. With its naturalistic hand-drawn animation, dreamily expressionistic touches, gorgeously bucolic background design, and elegant voice work, Watership Down is an emotionally arresting, dark-toned allegory about freedom amid political turmoil.

(Martin Rosen, USA, English, 92min, 1978, Blu-ray)
