scavenging through a production designer's blog and i came across an article speaking of a certain Hugo Pratt, highly praised cartoonist and mentioned a screen adaptation of one of his most famous stories. always up for animated movie, i watched Corto Maltese in Siberia and was already in awe at the opening sequence. only after going through a good quarter in the movie did i realize i need to screencap this movie. all credits to the original animators, of course.
bad-ass bitch in town.
silllhouuuuuteeeeeee!!!
the other baddest bitch from shanghai to manchuria.
corto and rasputin are the bestest buds
(even with the attempts of assassination here and there)
General Ginger is a gr9 side-character.
Like he only appears for 2 minutes but
he already killed an old fortuneteller lady.
fav scenery bar none.
poignant, romantic ending?
hah, you wish.
Corto Maltese in Siberia
by Hugo Pratt
A+ animation.
???? in plot actually i had no idea what i gathered from the movie
except:
1. Corto is fiiiiiiiineee.
2. Flawfree voice-acting.
3. Great use of negative space.
4. Gold trains or bust.
