Review: I have heard about this movie director from some friends who appreciate french comics (bande dessinée) from the 70's. This animated movie is definitely not suited for children, but on the contrary raises questions about our relationship with other people, I mean other "races" (different skin color, size...), the prejudices we have about them, and the conflicts that can result, escalading to genocide. The drawings are quite simplistic but efficient to carry their message. The soundrack is also simple but pleasant. One can find the movie a bit slow and boring at times, but all in all I enjoyed it. The blu-ray restauration was well done.
Rating: 6 /10
