| The
world of fantasy isn’t born and destroyed, but changes, mutates,
spreads and constructs alliances, brotherhoods, empires never thought
of or imagined in books about Political Science. France and Korea joined
forces to make this incredible animation work, produced, among others,
by the man who presented Kieslowski in Europe, Marin Karmitz. The magnificent
tale of two conflicting peoples, the inheritors of the sun and the rain
people, inhabited by warriors who ride atop brontosaurus, dames of pure
steel, real baddies, and by nymphs and lamias (mermaid-resembling
creatures with bird’s legs), an initiation tale, epic of heroic
fantasy and science fiction, Les enfants de la pluie
is directed by a master of animation, Philippe Leclerc, and conceived
by one of the great names of the Pilote, Metal Hurlant and Heavy Metal
collections, Philippe Caza. |
