Four years in the making and during a worldwide COVID pandemic, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda returns to the big screen with his latest animated film, Scarlet. Now in theaters, Scarlet from Hosoda’s animation studio, Studio Chizu, is a modern-day reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Hosoda’s use of classical stories as inspiration is a signature of his works, but one as dark as Hamlet is new.
