Matthieu,
Where do you see cool movies like that? By the way, do you know anything
about an Audrey Tautou movie called "Nowhere to go but up"? We love her
movies but they are difficult to find in the States.

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."
-Walter Bagehot

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the
choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make
are ultimately our own responsibility."-----Eleanor Roosevelt

"Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are
dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do
it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many
tomorrows.

-Michael Landon

> Hi.
> I just saw and heard the STRANGE movie called Les Triplettes de
Belleville.
> Very weird, very animated, very musical, mostly silent, but with so much
happening there is no need for talk.
>
> It is an animated cartoon, not a puppet movie, but I see so much
puppet-like qualities in it I'm sure a lot of pupeptfolks will love this
work of art.
>
> I won,t spoil anything by talking about the subject, so I will just say
what I love about the visuals...
>
> The characters seem to be made completely according to their characters
and functions (main puppet quality).
> (A cyclist is just an aerodynamic lean stringy creature with muscles for
the legs.)
>
> The scenery and vehicules are hallucinatingly distorted, more real than
real.
> The modern movie effects are blended perfectly with the animated drawings.
>
> The feeling is of old black and white movies, but in a faded color
palette, almost post-nuclear in feel.
> Lots of dirty greens and yellows.
>
> Watch this movie, if only for the proof that t is possible to go back to
simpler efficiencies of the past, without making it boring.
