Arco
A film by Ugo Bienvenu
w/ Natalie Portman, Will Ferrell, Chris Hemsworth
In 2075, a 10-year-old girl, Iris, sees a mysterious boy wearing a rainbow jumpsuit falling from the sky. It's Arco. He comes from a distant, idyllic future where time travel is possible. Iris takes him in and will do whatever it takes to help him return home.
The film manages a delicate balance of cynicism and hopefulness—Add Arnaud Toulon’s gentle score, which has echoes of Joe Hisaishi’s work for Studio Ghibli, and the result is a sci-fi fantasy that’s part Fantastic Planet and part Miyazaki.
