“Speaking isn’t enough anymore. You have to have something to say”
A film I had no idea was about before walking in, about a filmmaker I knew nothing about. Still I respect much of what this film is trying to do, even if it comes across as more of a checklist of a man’s life rather than a genuine moment or inspiration.
This film is engaging in its own way, the animation and style certainly help with that. But it also fails in that this biopic fails to really make me really understand a deeper connection to Marcel, so much of his life is not in the picture and while that’s obvious to most biopics, it should never feel like I’m actively disconnected because of it.
