Discover the trailer for “Amélie and the metaphysics of the tubes”, according to Amélie Nothomb

Japan is adorned with fabulous colors in this spice animated film adapted from Amélie Nothomb, which brings back the Japanese childhood of a little girl. The first images exclusively, before its dissemination in special session, in Cannes.

IL was once the little Amélie, a silent baby, motionless and taking herself for God, whose “real” birth coincides with his discovery … white chocolate, thanks to her grandmother, and, above all, with the installation of her family in Japan. Alongside Nishio-San, the young and so sweet house employee, the singular mouflette will frolic with adventures at the end of the garden in unforgettable sensations, but also know her first huge sorrow. What, when you are 3 years old and you think you will never leave paradise, want to disappear …

Until then, you could love French animation cinema on the one hand and Japanese animation on the other. We will be able to love their fusion in Amélie and the metaphysics of the tubes, If spicy and delicate adaptation of Amélie Nothomb’s novel on her Japanese childhood premium, by Liane-Cho Han and Maïlys Vallade, who worked on some of the best recent French successes, as At the top of the world et Calamity, a childhood by Martha Jane Cannarydeprived of load, you I lost my body, by Jérémy Clapin.

The very first years of a life are not necessarily miès, in a country in Layette colors, but it takes talent to recreate its melancholic contours: this is the case of this film where the big green eyes that eat Amélie’s face also devour the beauty of this initial Japanese world, almost mythological for it, and whose shades seem to flow to the other, as a sensual fluid and memorial. After the sublime flattens of fawn colors of Calamity…, Liane-Cho Han and Maïlys Vallade project us, thus, in all the possibilities of pink, all the vegetable greens and jade, the sun yellow or the blue which calls drowning. A superb animated film on the outdoor and interior landscapes of a little girl like no other.

Amélie and the metaphysics of the tubes, Presented in a special session at the Cannes Film Festival on May 20, will be released in theaters on June 25, 2025.
