Amazing slice of cinema history!
I discovered this film whilst looking through lists of "greatest animated films ever made" and such. I have always liked cartoons and the genre has moved on in so many ways over the last few deceades. Having said that, this film dates back to 1973 and I suppose it shows this. Classic animation techniques are used to breathe life into the story and the colouration is highly indicative of the time period. The story is allegorical and like all good stories, causes us to consider our place in the world, how we fit into it and how we are living our lives. The Blu Ray release is bright and clear with options for either English subtitles (it is a French film) or the U.S. dubbed version. It also has some extras - other animated shorts by the director, including his early first animation made in and by mental patients in the clinic-retreat where he was working as an art/creative therapist. I consider this film an absolute must for any student of animated film.

The very height of creative animation
Over the years I must have watched this film dozens of times, from third generation VHS videotapes of the French original to the current DVD and Blu-ray complete with excellent English subtitles. (I will leave it to others to comment on the English dubbed version). If this isn't in any critics top ten of animated films then I would be highly suspect of their taste and knowledge in general. The curent Eureka Dual DVD & Blu-ray is a beautifully crafted package, full of extra rare animations and an excellent full colour booklet - without a doubt, the best release of the film so far (cinematic presentations aside).
