3 films to create, laugh and dream

3. “Maya, give me another title”, by Michel Gondry

Animated film. 1 h 03. From 4 years old. In theaters.

From the poster, this film promises to be a journey to the enchanting world of childhood. In the middle of a naive and generous drawing, between a rocket, a horse, a octopus and cat lifeguard at sea, the signature indicates: “A daddy’s film (Michel Gondry)”.

By her artistic gesture, the work itself is just as touching: to maintain the link with her young girl living in another country and continue to tell her stories, a filmmaker dad asks him every month: “Maya, give me a title. »»

From this title (“Maya moves”, “Maya firefighter”, etc.), he makes her a small cartoon of which she is the heroine and in which events, thoughts, or little things appear that make the daily life.

It is therefore a very personal work, little gem of dreams and poetry, that Cisèle Michel Gondry, who has lost none of his inventiveness since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A universe where tenderness, humor and beauty rub shoulders with.
