If you watched the Oscars a couple of months ago and were very confused when, during the Best Animated Feature, a film you hadn't heard of called Robot Dreams popped up, you'll get the opportunity to find out very soon. The film made its debut nearly a year ago at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and NEON has been dragging its feet, releasing it since it picked up the film back in August. We got a teaser not long ago, but we got a full trailer today and many images from the movie. In the production notes, director Pablo Berger details finding the original graphic novel over a decade ago and how it stayed with him, saying, "Over ten years ago, when I was embarked on my chimerical, but finally real, endeavor of making the film Blancanieves, I came across the graphic novel Robot Dreams by Sara Varon. I was gripped from the first pages. I didn't read it; I devoured it. Like all good tales, its story took me to an unknown but recognizable place where I felt at home. I was captivated by its temporal structure; it made me laugh and cry, and most importantly, it made me reflect on friendship."
Friendship is the cornerstone of this film, as Berger explained in his Director's Decalogue, "It's importance and its fragility. The passing of time, loss but also about overcoming it. Why do we constantly put our relationships in danger?" Robot Dreams is one of the best films of 2023 and one that you need to check out as soon as it opens near you. Just prepare to be a blubbering mess by the end.
