A journey of coming into the modern world of the 10-year-old wild boy Fils Courge who was raised in the forest.
Director: Jean-Christophe Dessaint
Casting: Jean Reno, Lorànt Deutsch, Isabelle Carré
Adapted from an adult novel by Jean-François Beauchemin, this cartoon starts the reach of children without falling into the trap of sentimentality. Visually, each shot of the movie is a table with vibrant colors, which makes you believing that you are breathing tree resin, feeling the warmth of the real autumn sun. In this beautiful setting, the characters are sketched with humor, tenderness and sometimes cruelly, they have the simplicity and bold colors of pure cartoon. The co-production by France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Canada is mesmerized with a story of a jungle boy coming to the modern city, referring Asian audience to the well-known Japanese comic – “Dragon Ball”.
Film synopsis:
“Day of Crows” has a young hero who is an extremely wild child: like Tarzan, he does not know the world of men and made the forest their natural habitat, developing a special talent for hunting, fishing and climbing! He even is raised by a tyrannical giant father who likes to eat fresh meat. Until one day, he must come out of the jungle and meet hundreds of troubles in the urban modern world. This innocent hero has conquered French critics and attracts large audience when the film was released in French theatres in 2012.
Language: French with Vietnamese subtitles
“Le Jour des Corneilles” will be screened on Sun 09 Apr 2017, 4 pm at L’Espace, 24 Trang Tien, Hanoi.
