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…

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

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.

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

Another day, another Netflix movie. This one caught me by surprise. Not because I Lost My Body is a particularly good animated film, but because every half-assed decision in the movie is clichéd, incredibly pedantic and dull, which can very well make it 2019’s most overatted and overhyped film.
The film tells a rather simple love story between pizza-delivery stalker Naoufel (Hakim Faris) and Gabrielle (Victoire Du Bois). Problem #1 arises. The film’s story is way too simple and goes down the motions of typical, clichéd, romantic dramas that have been done 1000000000 other times, and better too. There’s nothing remotely engaging in Naoufel and Gabrielle’s faux-relationship that you couldn’t care less about what’s going down on-screen. They are both…

At first it seems like it's going in the direction of being an extra-quirky quest film (and it sort of is) where the lonely eccentric dude stalks to the lonely eccentric girl to meet cute, but it moves on to become something that's...a lot more interesting and resonant, I think. I'm still mulling over the last ten minutes or so, but I think I really liked this.
(And it's also worth noting, given how much attention Netflix's 'Christmas Movie' selection has drawn in recent times, that this film, with its emphasis on space, and silence, and loneliness or solitude, reflecting on being apart and the moments things went wrong, would make a really good anti-holiday film)

Una malinconica fiaba sul completarsi e sentirsi pieni, I Lost My Body emoziona, diverte, a volte spaventa e sicuramente commuove. L’impressionante stile di animazione che Clapin ha scelto per il suo esordio racconta tre storie interconnesse di un ragazzo, un bambino ed una mano, legati da un unico corpo e da un’unica ricerca : loro stessi. Nella Francia degli anni 90 si infrangeranno famiglie, si troveranno amori e si cercherà la strada di casa dentro un barattolo di ravioli. Netflix sgancia l’ennesima bomba in quella che è probabilmente la miglior stagione per il servizio streaming.
