jesus this looks awesome!!!!! im gonna get it asap!
I love the way Sylvain Chomet seems to be familiar with the visual medium. He seems to use voices and sound less as a means through which his stories are told and more as a way to convey atmosphere.
This highly inventive animated film is bizarre in the extreme and difficult to summarise. A shy little boy fascinated by cycling grows up to be a champion rider under the tutelage of his doting grandmother. Competing in the Tour de France, he is kidnapped and it's up to his grandmother and her faithful dog to resuce him. Influenced by the films of Jacques Tati, this visually witty film is a treat for young and old...
heartwarming <3. Probably my favorite movie...I'm in love with every frame and with every character since Bruno to the waiter. .I absolutely adore the atmosphere of the film, its unique animation style and Chomet's dark humour. This movie reminds me why watching cartoons was so fascinating.
The Illusionist really feels like a logical step for Chomet after watching this.
j'ai vu ce film quand j'étais adolescent, et j'ai trop apprécie la façon d’évoluer.. tout lentement quand on fait des rêves, c'est toujours difficile!
an imaginative and creative world full of much humor although I'm not a fan of this style of animation.
I loved the music, the animation, the surrealism... It is the kind of movie that warrants a slower pacing, but things sometimes seemed too slow.
I've never seen any other movie like this. Every moment was magic. Loved how perfectly the music danced with the visuals. Loved how it wasn't afraid to be dismall and disgusting and also lovely. A true triumph.
I enjoyed it very much. I liked the way the characters are drawn, they pretty much reflect the faults of men. And I liked it because it's often static, but the characters are living and experiment feelings. And these moments, in which nothing happens but the main characters experiences a feeling are brilliant represented!
Tengo que confesar que este película me introdujo al mundo del cine hace varios años. nunca había visto algo tan extraño hasta ese momento.
Nice, a bit too cute, but it would be hard to do the same with real pictures. Part of the renew of animated movies.
the music background was excellent and completely matching the signature of the animation!
