‘Luca’ movie review: A charming little Italian adventure, sans the quintessential Pixar magic
The Hindu
Director Enrico Casarosa and his team do a magnificent job of bringing small-town Italy to life, interspersed with a coming-of-age fantasy saga
Perhaps the biggest compliment that can be paid to Luca — Pixar’s latest offering — is that the animated film set in ‘50s Italy, leaves you with an insatiable yearning to travel instantly. To be transported to this delectable seaside town on the Riviera, (fictional though it might be) and immerse yourselves in plates of heavenly pasta, next to the glorious twin palettes of yellow sunshine and blue waters… is a befitting vision to banish pandemic memories. If only there was a Portkey or Midnight in Paris-style car around. . Yet, watch from home we must, and the studio’s first direct-to-streaming release is such a beautiful visual tribute to Italian culture and its folklore, that you can’t help wishing for the film to have had a big-screen release.More Related News
