Yes. This is definitely an art film. French, of course, but absolutely not. Or one step removed. And it is one of the best I have ever seen! Rather, most unique. Not to mention the quietest.
And the animal performers are as perfect as their human counterparts.
As a bonus leading man Ciarán Hinds has both his very long-term partner and daughter in the film with him.
The characters you meet on their trip through France are just that characters. Delightful one. The stories that are told are yarns. And the towns are out of storybooks. Grimms, but storybooks nonetheless.
Everything about this film is well thought out and timed. The cinematography is perfection. The colors are saturated and rich, just like this story! And the music is also perfect!
So if you're in the mood for something outstanding, but interesting, and fun, this is it.
