Arrugas / Wrinkles Ignacio Ferreras (Perro Verde Films/Cromosoma) Spain, 2011, 35mm, 89′ It’s never too late to find a great friend. Based on the award winning comic book by the same name, WRINKLES is a feature length animation about Emilio and Miguel’s newly formed friendship at their nursing home and the discovery of new beginnings in the most unusual of places. The subject of old age gets the kind of attention it deserves but is too rarely afforded in the affecting Wrinkles, Ignacio Ferreras´ animated study of the friendship between two seniors in a nursing home. Featuring lovable but credible characters and a beautifully crafted, understated plot that emerges elegantly from their fears, fantasies and forgetfulness, this thought-provoking, universally comprehensible item slips as easily between past and present as the characters do.
