The Old Man & The Sea Animated

in Film, Literature | September 22nd, 2009 2 Comments

In 1999, Aleksandr Petrov won the Academy Award for Short Film (among other awards) for a film that follows the plot line of Ernest Hemingway’s classic novella, The Old Man and the Sea (1952). As noted here, Petrov’s technique involves painting pastels on glass, and he and his son painted a total of 29,000 images in total. Rather incredible. Above, we present the 20 minute short.

    This small perfect movie is one of the best I’ve seen lately! I have fished, friends of mine fish now off Cape Cod, the book has always been a favorite of mine and this short “gem” is the crux of it all!
    Thank you….
