The Driver Is Red (Randall Christopher, 2018) USA

Reviewed by Hugo Paxlind. Viewed at the Santa Barbara Film Festival

Argentina 1960, Agent Zvi Aharoni fly’s down to buenos aires to track down Ricardo Clement a former ss-officer.

Educating and interesting true story. Randall Christopher came across a letter from Adolf Eichmann and that was what started this whole movie. he traveled to the locations did his research and created this animated short.

I have to say it is a capturing short that keeps you biting your nails during the entire movie. Mark Pinter does an excellent job capturing the movie’s intensity with his voice as he narrates. what really sticks out is the way Randall Christopher tells the story in black and white and the heart he put in to make it. history never get’s old and it is an important part of our lives and the future. i would recommend this movie to anyone with the slightest interest of history. you quickly put yourself in Zvi Aharoni’s shoes and start to think what you would do if you were in the same situation. creatively made and well illustrated.
