A grim fairy tale that starts mere seconds after a young man in mid-’90s Paris has been violently separated from one of his hands, Jérémy Clapin’s morbid yet profoundly moving debut feature — head and shoulders above any other animated film this year — might be described as a story about someone trying to make themselves whole again. But that wouldn’t quite prepare you for the beguiling strangeness of what this Cannes prize-winner has in store. After all, there’s a reason why Clapin’s film is called “I Lost My Body,” and not “I Lost My Hand”: It’s largely told from the hand’s point-of-view.
We first meet Naoufel (voiced by Hakim Faris in the French version, and Dev Patel in the…
this would be great if not for the fact that the love story starts with the guy surreptitiously following the girl home?? no thank you
I Lost My Body has some wonderful animation, that is both crude and yet incredibly artistic. It is often a wonder to look at, despite clunky movement. It is both wildly original and yet trope-heavy. There's things to really appreciate, like a female character actually calling out a guy for his creepy romantic bullshit. The reconciliation of plot strands is also very well structured. It's different and special, I Lost My Body is beautifully by itself.
stunning animation accompanied by a stunning score!!!! it’s nice to see animation is alive and well and being taken to new and interesting places
Call this a target audience problem. I don’t like people who define themselves primarily through loss. I don’t like pity being the primary feeling that you get off a person. I don’t like romantic stories where the male lead’s quality that he brings to the table is want.
The primary device employed to tell the narrative is the journey of a disembodied hand, echoing the various tribulations undergone by the protagonist as he gets kicked around by the world. That’s clever enough, although they lay it on a little thick with the hand’s never ending journey of suffering. The art is pretty, and on its own it’s worth more than a bit; the animation leaves a lot to be desired, however. Uneven and choppy.
A story that desperately wants the viewer to feel sorry for someone. I’d imagine quite a few will.
"Do you believe in fate?"
Just when you thought happiness has finally come in your terms, but then destiny turns it out to be the other way around.
This is a moving portrait of loss and yearning. It isn't just all about a severed hand wandering through Paris. It obviously tells more than something else. It will leave you a lasting impression of how numbing it is to be incomplete, longing for something that, at the very least, doesn't even show signs of coming.
