Check Out the Trailer for French Animated Film I LOST MY BODY
Jérémy Clapin is making his directorial debut with the French animation called I Lost My Body. This bit of animation premiered at Cannes recently with the trailer below and it is loosely adapting Guillaume Laurant’s book Happy Hand.
“The story follows a severed hand that escapes from a dissection lab with one crucial goal: to get back to its body. As it scrambles through the pitfalls of Paris, it remembers its life with the young man it was once attached to… until they met Gabrielle.”
Clapin and Laurant co-wrote the film which looks intriguing. I wonder who is going to pick it up. Clapin told Critics’ Week at Cannes:
“The challenge was finding how to show the hand, its behavior, its gaze, and inventing a physical vocabulary to convey emotions since it has no eyes or expression. Hence, we gave it a backstory, a childhood. These questions lead me to create complex languages, the one of the hand, which at the beginning escapes from its refrigerator to find its body. And Naoufel’s, the solitary pizza delivery man, to whom the hand belongs. He meets Gabrielle through an intercom 35 stories away. These two destinies merge into one story.”
