Additional InformationTHE FOX AND THE CHILD is a charming 'nature-tale' from the award-winning writer/director of MARCH OF THE PENGUINS, Luc Jacquet. The film follows a young girl's secret endeavours to tame a wild fox, and her resulting experiences in the stunning mountain wilderness of Eastern France. It soon becomes evident, however, that this is not a mere 'kid befriends cute critter' narrative, as the film adopts a cautionary tone about our relationship with animals and our somewhat misguided understanding of them.<BR><BR><BR>Part children's adventure story, part wildlife documentary, THE FOX AND THE CHILD makes use of Jacquet's now trademark photography, basking in the simple beauty of nature - a spectacle which is only heightened by the almost entire absence of dialogue. Kate Winslet narrates this English language version as the nostalgic voice of the now adult child recounting the story to her own son, turning the film into an enchanting fable to be passed down through the generations. A guaranteed future classic, with enough heart and sophistication to be enjoyed by the whole family.
ReviewsChannel 4 - A film that looks sumptuous [and] presents viewers with a splendid array of European beasties, Time Out - Jacquet's golden-hued cautionary tale is beautiful to look at. ItÆs also accurate in the way the time frame of friendship unfolds, and is spot on in illustrating our tendency to anthropomorphise cute animals., This Is London - Children will undoubtedly adore the film, and the local tourist board will probably have to take its phones off the hook., Total Film - Gorgeous
