THE INVENTOR – Review by Valerie Kalfrin

September 4, 2023 Valerie Kalfrin animation, Daisy Ridley, Jim Capobianco, Leonardo da Vinci, Marion Cotillard, Matt Berry, Pierre-Luc Granjon, Stephen Fry, The Inventor

To have a creative mind like Leonardo da Vinci’s is both a joy and a torment, as shown in the animated film The Inventor, which uses stop-motion puppets and hand-drawn animation to bring the famed Renaissance man and his thoughts to life. The Inventor is a whimsical and occasionally poignant look at a prolific artist with relatable anxieties that bring him down to earth.
