Tant de Forêts Trailer.

A nice wee trailer. Looking forward to the film. It reminds me a little of the lovely art work of Charlie Harper.

  1. Dans ce poème, Jacques Prévert fustige la destruction des forêts pour fabriquer de la pâte à papier, papier qui sert à alerter les gens sur les dangers de la déforestation... "On veut créer une forêt si belle qu'on a envie d'y être, qu'elle nous émerveille, qu'on s'y attache alors qu'elle va être détruite. Dans ce poème, il y a un message qui dit sans reproche les conséquences de la présence humaine sur terre. On veut le mettre en scène comme une métaphore d'un cycle un peu ironique mais sans présence humaine."

  2. Hmm, my French is better than I thought. I got stuck on "nous émerveille" - amazes us. Didn't know that one.

  3. I'm surprised too. My ability to understand French is obviously better than my ability to write it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch even that short trailer because when I've visited my broadband won't download anything as demanding as even that.
