"This is definitely animation for grown-ups -- its look is voluptuous, sexy and sultry; its Latin-inflected Dizzy Gillespie sound is seductive; and its story of young lovers whose passions are tested is timeless.
- Betsy Sharkey, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"A dazzling and delightful work of modernist animation, a classic movie romance and a hip-swinging, finger-popping tale of musical revolution, CHICO & RITA is the first big serendipitous surprise of 2012."
- Andrew O'Hehir, SALON
"This is the kind of sophisticated storytelling you rarely get even in live-action movies any more, full of unexpected turns and unruly human complications."
- Stephanie Zacharek, MOVIELINE

Cuba, 1948. Chico is a young piano player with big dreams. Rita is a beautiful singer with an extraordinary voice. Music and romantic desire unites them, but their journey (in the tradition of the Latin ballad, the bolero) brings heartache and torment. From Havana to New York, Paris, Hollywood and Las Vegas, two passionate individuals battle impossible odds to unite in music and love.
94 minutes. In English. Presented in Blu-ray. Unrated.
