Trailer

Why watch this film?

What would happen if Superman was a communist? Starting from this unusual idea, comic book writer Mark Millar wrote one of the most interesting and talked about comics of the Man of Steel, called 'Superman: Red Son'. This is the adaptation of the comic book to animation, following the already praised series of DC animated movies. The film manages to satisfactorily translate several elements of the comic book, which tries to take us out of the common place of depicting the Cold War in black and white - there are, as we know, several shades of gray in between. Although it brings us several reflections, the movie slips in its final stretch when it tries to diverge more from the original material and follows a path of simplification. It is still an interesting entertainment - and a great invitation for you to read the comic book afterwards.
