Information

Country/Year: France 2010

Cast:

Trailer:

Website:

A witty and beautiful new animation from the director of Belleville Rendez-Vous.  Our weary hero is an over-the-hill magician, complete with less-than- friendly white rabbit; their adventures are based upon an unrealised script by Jacques Tati, the action of which director Chomet transposed to Scotland after he moved there in 2004. Rich with visual jokes, 1950s period detail and breathtaking views of city and wilderness alike, this is one of the most gorgeous evocations of Scotland in cinema history.
