Recommended for age 11 and older. "(Jean-François) Laguionie's masterly, long-awaited feature Gwen... takes place in some unspecified, desolate future. Nomadic tribes have created their myths, but the young Gwen comes to challenge these, and to lead the aged Roseline on a pilgrimage across the dunes to examine the 'City of the Dead' more closely. Elliptical...hard to pin down, Gwen is nevertheless utterly ravishing to the eye and a more than worthy successor to the director's previous (animated films), La Demoiselle et le violoncelliste (et al),...all of which took top (Annecy) festival prizes." Clare Kitson, London Film Festival '85
