Editor's Notes

Note

Deaf Crocodile gave Jean-François Laguionie's 1985 animated debut a Dolby Vision 4K from a new restoration. It's a surreal 67-minute post-apocalyptic desert odyssey about a girl and a nomad elder searching for a missing boy in a world scattered with giant consumer objects. Arthouse animation no other label was going to touch.
