Hidden Animation ~ J’ai perdu mon corps (I lost my body), dir. Jérémy Clapin (2019).
J’ai perdu mon corps is a long-length animated movie which received the highest distinction (Cristal du long métrage) at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 2019. It tells the story of a disembodied hand in search of its body, young Naoufel. The storytelling is split in two : the hand’s quest and Naoufel’s life as he falls in love with Gabrielle and how it changes his life. Scenery and art style are both urban and poetic, showcasing the city of Paris, its subway lines and its apartment buildings.
