French director and animator Jeremy Crapin's debut film premiered at Critics' Week in Cannes.
A 'monster' with only five fingers is drawn into a creepy but visceral comic of the future, and the result is that the finger loses its body, it sounds a bit edgy, the movie is called "My Lost Body" . The French writer, director, and animator Jeremy Clapin made a name for himself in a film unlike any other animated film. Premiering at Critics' Week in Cannes, the film is about a young man who cuts off his hands at the beginning of the story and then spends the rest of the time with his hands - trying to make sense of his life while reconnecting with his body keep in touch. This film's highly original and quite alternative story structure is enough for you to be interested in it. This finger, including body and emotion, is the main direction of the film. This is a mature animated film that can go out of its own style (novelty) . The film is taken from Guillaume Laurent's 2006 novel, "Hand of Happiness," which depicts the plight of Naoufe (which I translate as Naoufe), who had a happy childhood in North Africa until he His parents are killed in a car accident, and he is forced to live in Paris with an evil uncle.
The tragedy of his parents left him with a psychological scar that left him timid and helpless to this day, and Nauffy, a self-proclaimed humble pizza deliveryman, had no real plans for his future. But when he confides in the elusive librarian Gabriel during a botched delivery, he decides to cheer himself up and get a job at his uncle's carpentry workshop, perhaps the first time he's put himself life is in their own hands. Or the hand (hand representation, the movie is), because the whole story is told through Nauffe's dismembered point of view, as the fingers separate from the body, it slowly but surely crawls back to its owner. Along the way, the fingers run into a number of obstacles that epitomize action films and premise good-looking, from a furious attack by pigeons to a showdown with rats in the subway. All of these scenes consist of realistic 2D animations, a bit like an Impressionist approach - fingers sifting through sand on a beach, or playing the piano; blood oozing from fingers, etc. - where the hand remembers what caused the current predicament key event.
There's an eerie melancholy feel to it, and the film's bold use of unlikely horror scenes (Clapham never shy away from gore, especially in the opening scene, which is high-level performance) leads the way. Something deeper and darker, beyond the mere sensational and shocking to achieve the purpose of directing and filming (after all, there must be a central idea, and Chinese teachers have taught us). The film is about a hand mourning the loss of its own body (isn't it a bit clumsy, why is it hand to body), and Clapham uses these moments of sensory memory to reveal the film's character, Nafel, who was once a Carefree boy, who loves music and recordings, tells the story of what a marginalized young man can do if he changes from trauma, and goes through lifeless dead-end work every day until he meets thoughtful Gabriel, young There is a glimmer of light in the hopeless life of man.
I like this kind of movies very much, not that they have to be installed or instilled in you that kind of big truth, so that you can drink chicken soup, etc. These movies are criticized and make people have a correct reflection. Movies, it may not bring Give you hope, at least let you find the shadow of your life in the journey of one hand, you are lonely, unconfident, depressed, or have an unfortunate childhood, unhappy life, unsatisfactory work, but so what? In this way, you have to learn to find your own "body". Not to mention a finger that can only be bullied by pigeons and mice.
