Jérémy Clapin’s directorial debut "J'ai perdu mon corps" intertwined the narratives of the two stories of romantic love between men and women and the attempt to return to the body with a broken hand
. The whole film has a seemingly random and intricate narrative structure. But in fact, they have been carefully designed by the screenwriter
to present the emotional journey of traumatized people and hands in the form of two-dimensional animation. When the body and the severed hand are finally reconnected, "J'ai perdu mon corps" forms a complete cycle, connecting the psychological and physical trauma of the protagonist Laufir. The severed hand is both physical and metaphorical. Sexual. The film is aesthetically surreal. It successfully humanizes a bloody severed hand and elevates this absurd concept into a film worth watching

A / The motion quality of the hand is not only the jumping mass, but also the water flow under the ice layer, the whirling snow and wind, and even the dust of the universe. The memory of the senses is chasing the body, and the body is chasing you. And when the mind tries to touch the memory beyond the body, the pain of cutting brings us the most skin-conscious physical presence. Fortunately, even if we are separated, we can still imagine the retention of physical memory and open up new resonance with others who cannot be touched. How ambitious is this microscopic perception power?

Naoufel: That it must be peaceful to be cut off from the world like that. To see nothing... hear nothing...

Naoufel: Do you believe in fate? No, seriously.
Gabrielle: That everything is written in advance? That we follow a trajectory?
Naoufel: Yeah
Gabrielle: And that we can't change anything?
Naoufel: We think that we can, but we can't. It's an illusion. Unless we do... Something completely unpredictable and irrational. It's the only way to conjure the spell for good.
