I Lost My Body – 2019 Clapin
- Jérémy Clapin’s feature debut is a intriguing film—a
breath of fresh air in the animation world- a film two-pronged narrative—one
about an orphan (with black and white flashbacks), and one about a dismembered
hand— they combine to make for a sly mediation on loss
- POV opening, and the POV style is a major
style choice for the hand portion of the narrative—Clapin seems inspired
and influenced by Julian Schnael’s The
Diving Bell and Butterfly– in one scene in particular we fly into the eyelids
- Not an abundance of them- but there’s a nice
setting of the frame from Clapin as they show a bike outside in the rain
outside of the apartment.
- Dan Levy’s score here is a nice accompaniment to
the visuals—the scales are reminiscent of Philip Glass
- A fringe recommendation—in the archives but
not too near the top 10 of 2019
