An animated holiday
Belgium will have an “animated” Christmas this year. The holiday programming schedule for younger audiences includes Drengen der ville gøre det umulige (The Boy Who Wanted to Be A Bear), a co-production by France, Norway and Denmark. The particularity of this film is that every single frame began life as a hand-drawn water colour that was subsequently animated. Etoiles Filantes is a compilation of Scandinavian animated short films for audiences of three years and over.
Belgian adults will laugh at an all-French comedy entitled Ah! Si j’étais riche by Gérard Bitton and Michel Munz and starring Italy’s Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. Papillon, the story of a fanatical butterfly collector directed by Philippe Muyl and with Michel Serrault is also on general release. For those of a tougher disposition, may we suggest the self-descriptive Carnages, a first-time film about life and death by Delphine Gleize starring Chiara Mastroianni and Angela Molina.
