From STUDIO GHIBLI (and also michael dudok de wit)

    “The Red Turtle is a 2016 animated fantasy drama film co-written and directed by Dutch animator Michaël Dudok de Wit and produced by Toshio Suzuki from Japan. The film is a co-production between Studio Ghibli and several French companies, including Wild Bunch, and tells the story of a man who becomes shipwrecked on a deserted island and meets a giant red female turtle. The film has no dialogue. The film was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film for the 89th Academy Awards.” – Wikipedia.

          It is also one of the two feature-length films from Ghibli that I haven’t seen yet (the other is “Earwig and the Witch”, a CGI-animated style film based on the book by Diana Wynne Jones). Although it has just come in and I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, the buzz on "The Red Turtle" is generally positive (hopefully I find it more engaging than "Ocean Waves"). It appears to me to have vague connections to the Japanese tale of “Urashima Taro” and his adventures far from the world of men after rescuing a turtle in distress. When the mood is right, I shall have a viewing, perhaps this evening.

Update: As of June 29th I have watched the film, and found it beautiful, engaging, and even visionary. It turns out to be much more akin to the "Animal Bride" archtype, where a creature like a selkie or a swan-maiden has their animal skin stolen, is stuck as a human, and then is forced to marry her captor, leaving as soon as she recovers her skin. Here, however, it appears it is the turtle who will not let the man leave and takes on human form to be with him. I was worried that the lack of dialogue would make the film slow or even pretentious; instead, it adds to the dreamlike and universal quality of the story.
