The Oscar nominee Arco holds out hope for the post-post-apocalypse

According to the French animated film Arco, humanity’s current trajectory will result in some dark, disconnected times in half a century, if we aren’t there already. Yet in spite of the negative forecast for the not-so-distant future, the Best Animated Feature nominee leaves viewers with a sense of optimism about humankind’s long-term prospects. That, combined with its imaginative visuals and sense of childlike fantasy, makes the movie a rewarding experience.
