During wartime, a poor lumberjack and his wife live in a large forest. One day, the woman finds and rescues the little girl, bringing about an irrevocable change in the lives of the couple and those whose paths the child will cross. This is Michel Hazanavicius' first animated film. This is the best 2024 release I've seen so far this year, and we're in the middle of December 2024. It tells a story set in Poland during World War II, almost like a popular story. Most of the action takes place in the forest, which is typical of the popular stories mentioned above, and revolves around a couple of lumberjacks who adopt a Jewish girl who was thrown off a deportation train passing through their forest. She was abandoned by her father to save her from certain death in Auschwitz. I won't go into the details of the plot so you can see for yourself, I'll just add that the film will come to a deeply philosophical conclusion. Technically, everything is perfectly done too. The visuals of the film are superbly done. The animation style is grim, neither too detailed nor too harsh. The scenes are mostly depicted in low light with predominant shades of grey, thus emphasizing the horrors of the most notorious war and mass destruction event in the history of humanity. And then the soundtrack, which is magnificent: the music, the sound effects, the narration and the voice acting (I saw the original version in French), all perfectly suited to present this gem of a film. In conclusion, it is one of the best films that tackles the issue of racism and especially the Shoah with its artistic process and the story it wants to tell.
