Carthago Nova

About This Movie

Carthago Nova is a fascinating blend of animation, documentary, and drama, capturing the essence of a bustling Roman city in the first century A.D. The story revolves around the Albino family, who find themselves embroiled in a years-long competition with the powerful Lucio Andro. It's interesting how it portrays not just personal rivalries but also the backdrop of economic decline, which adds a layer of tension throughout. The animation style has a unique quality, almost like a visual history book, which complements the narrative nicely. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but it really allows you to soak in the atmosphere and the nuances of ancient life. Definitely feels more like an exploration than a traditional film.
