The Book of Kells, animated
‘Your eye travels over Celtic crosses and through forest glades, studies architectural schematics and drinks in delicately washed landscapes . . . And it is only fitting that a movie concerned with the power and beauty of drawing – the almost sacred magic of color and line – should be so gorgeously and intricately drawn.’ –A. O. Scott, NY Times
The Secret of Kells, which premiered last year in Berlin, has been quietly gaining attention on the festival circuit, racking up awards – as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Film. (tho – Disney’s Up won the statue)
The film is the story of Brendan, a 12-year-old who – in 9th century Ireland – discovers the beauty of art and sets out on a life’s journey to complete work on The Book of Kells.
