An ancient tragedy and bright elevation Adapted for children adaptation of the novel “Day of the Ravens” by the popular Canadian writer Jean-François Beauchemann, who is appreciated both in Quebec and in France (they say the original is darker).
Director Jean Christophe Düssant is known for the animated series Auggie and Cockroaches' (in the style of Tom and Jerry), his experience in animation is not very large. However, this work is not only good in appearance and strong source, but also resembles adult works, and there are strong references to Miyazaki’s work. The cartoon is voiced by famous French actors and is dedicated to the deceased director Claude Chabrol.
I found the film difficult and difficult, I watched it in several rounds. It's death, love, loss, finding yourself, drama. Very serious and beautiful work. I would like to read the book and compare it, but I did not find a translation of the original book. I think the cartoon is suitable for people who are able to empathize and try to understand the roots of the beginning of changes in a person. Anyway, it's a very hard job, I can't even remember anything like that. The ending is very sublime and bright.
P.S. This is the second time in recent days that I have changed my score from 6 to 7.
