Candide

About This Movie

Candide (2018) is an interesting take on Voltaire's classic, weaving animation with a distinct comedic twist. The protagonist's journey through various contemporary settings feels fresh yet oddly familiar, as he navigates the unpredictability of life. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that's part of its charm—each episode finds Candide in new, often absurd scenarios that highlight human folly. The animation style is vibrant, with a playful atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the darker themes of cruelty and optimism. Master Pangloss's relentless positivity offers a satirical lens on the idea of 'everything happens for a reason.' It’s distinctive in its approach, blending humor and philosophy in a way that keeps you engaged, if not always entirely comfortable.
