Buena Vista Social Club meets The Illusionist in this visually hypnotic, musically electric blend of hand-drawn animation and beautiful Cuban soundtrack: all crooning love songs, fiery dances and passionate farewells. Cuba, 1948, young pianist Chico and beautiful singer Rita fall in love over a shared passion for music, but their fiery romance sputters and dies and Rita leaves for New York. So they embark on the eternal Cuban story of emigration, separation and a longing for love lost, a journey that brings happiness and heartache. With its exuberant, sensual mood, lush visuals and wonderful jazz classics this will appeal to hopeless romantics everywhere.
“All buzz, colour and sublime jazz, Chico & Rita is an instant design classic -and cracking cinema too.” Total Film
