Renaissance

I have soft spot for cartoons. I don’t watch them often anymore, but in theory, I could. I guess it brings back fond memories of early Saturday mornings, of course as I’ve grown up (well, sort of), so have cartoons. Case in point is the movie, Renaissance. I hadn’t heard of it until last night when I went on-demand surfing for a decent movie; the lure of a few stellar reviews on IMDB and a name star sucked me in.

Renaissance treated to me an amazingly animated story set in 2054 Paris. The visuals are impressive to say the least; the entire movie is done in high-contrast black and white with color and grays used only in a couple of key places to emphasize the action. And, to top it off, the lead character is a police officer, voiced by none other than Daniel Craig. What Renaissance lacks in story, it more than makes up for in stunning visual quality. This alone makes it a must-see for any of you designerds out there, like me.
