About This Movie

Corto Maltese: The Guilded House of Samarkand offers a unique blend of adventure and animated storytelling. The pacing is intriguing, balancing moments of suspense and lighthearted banter between Corto and Raspoutine. The animation style has this rough, hand-drawn charm that really captures the essence of Hugo Pratt's comics. You can feel the dusty trails of ancient Persia when Corto searches for Cyrus' treasure, layering in themes of friendship and betrayal. Raspoutine, with his over-the-top antics, adds a comedic touch to this quest, which is quite refreshing. The voice performances bring a lot of life to the characters, making the whole experience engaging. It might not be the most polished piece, but the atmosphere has this nostalgic pull for fans of European comics.
