Le Renard et l'enfant

Tyttö ja kettu / Flickan och räven. FR (c) 2007 Bonne Pioche / France 3 Cinéma. P: Yves Darondeau, Christophe Lioud, Emmanuel Priou. D: Luc Jacquet. SC: Luc Jacquet, Eric Rognard. DP: Eric Dumage, Gérard Simon - 35mm - digital intermediate - print 35mm 1:2,35. Starring: Bertille Noël-Bruneau (the girl). Released by Cinema Mondo, Finnish-spoken version supervised by Pekka Lehtosaari and narrated by Minttu Mustakallio. Viewed at Tennispalatsi 9, Helsinki, 16 Feb 2008. This is a beautiful tale about a young girl and her friendship with a wild she-fox during the four seasons of the year. The superior film based on this format is Arne Sucksdorff's Det stora äventyret (The Big Adventure), and in Finland, Raimo O. Niemi has directed The Boy and the Lynx and The Mystery of the Wolf. But the storyline is but a pretext to a wide variety of scenes about the wonders of nature, which in each case are different. Very nice, but I did not like the special digital animation scenes and the digital look of the forest.
