Spect.

Viewers are deeply moved by 'The Most Precious of Cargoes,' praising its poignant storytelling and stunning animation. The film's delicate handling of a harrowing historical theme through the lens of a fairy tale captures hearts, with Jean-Louis Trintignant's narration adding a profound touch. While the animation style is lauded for its expressiveness and ability to convey deep emotions, some viewers felt the pacing was slow and the narrative occasionally heavy-handed.

👍 Expressive animation and powerful narration enhance the emotional impact.

👎 Some may find the pacing slow and the narrative heavy.

Synopsis

Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived in a great forest. Cold, hunger, poverty and a war raging all around them meant their lives were very hard. One day, the woodcutter's wife rescues a baby. A baby girl thrown from one of the many trains that constantly pass through the forest. This baby, this "most precious of cargoes", will transform the lives of the poor woodcutter's wife and her husband, as well as those whose paths the child will cross - including the man who threw her from the train. And some will try to protect her, whatever the cost. Their story will reveal the worst and the best in the hearts of men.

Très émouvant (on m’a toujours avec les films sur la Shoah de toute façon). La scène où le père retrouve sa petite fille, qui évidemment ne le reconnaît pas et a peur de cet homme défiguré par l’horreur des camps… Je m’en remettrai jamais.

Émouvant et tout en pudeur. La voix de Jean-Louis Trintignant souligne la joliesse du dessin et la pureté de l'histoire. A voir (à partir de 11-12 ans, pas avant de mon point de vue et avec une explication derrière)
