The Red Turtle (2016)

 Animated and without a line of dialogue 'The Red Turtle' tells the story of a castaway who encounters a red turtle who turns itself into a woman so that he won't be lonely. The two have a son together, who grows up and leaves with other turtles so that he too won't be lonely. It's really kind of beautiful with a hard to describe animation style, the humans have little eyes like in old TinTin comics, but the nature scenes can be quite lovely. Also there are comic relief crabs. Runs compactly around 80 minutes. ***
