Death does not exist Director Cannes premiere joy outweighs pressure

Quebec animator Felix Dufour-laperrière Death does not exist ((Death does not exist) made his fourth feature the two main characters of Helene and Manon because they caused Faust's bargaining.

Thinking that radical change requires violence to overthrow the old order, the two women and their comrades launched armed attacks on wealthy landowners in a stately villa. The progress is not going well. Helene freezes, and after flees to the magical valley full of color and tension, Manon returns to bother her.

In a series of conversations and monologues, these two women explore violence, love, commitment, and how only good things can come from bad things when challenging the status quo.

"Life. It's sports," Mannon told Helen at some point. "And the action inevitably comes at a price. It's hard. Save the skin or dirty hands. Maybe it can change things. Or save your love. It's true, it's hard. But cry like a baby, nothing changes.

As Death does not exist Director Dufour-Laperrière told Annecy that he would head to Cannes for the world premiere and then show it in Annecy. Hollywood Reporter He seeks to combine the scenes of miserable friendship with the terrorist attacks in his poetic hand-drawn animation functions. "They experienced the impossible of violence first," he explained. "You can't control the consequences. It immediately got out of control. But they had the consequences in a world where violence existed."

As part of the tragic story, Mannon gave Helen the opportunity to return to the landowner’s villa and complete the terrorist mission after abandoning his accomplices in a failed armed attack. Dufour-Laperrière narrated: "Manon offers the possibility of potentially saving her friends and saving her love and saving her faith and taking risks at the same moment. It's a tragic choice."

“At the beginning, I saw the October crisis – meeting –Alice in Wonderland,Dufour-Laperrière used violence to symbolic goals of political gain when talking about FLQ. As for his minimalist animation style, the director insists on using his film fusion and overlapping visual and sound overlaps to better explain a turbulent world.

This is especially true when Dufour-Laperrière uses a palette to illustrate characters with only one couple but constantly changing details present. "This makes (characters) part of the background, and the background is part of it," the director recalls. "They are not independent. It's fun to be very free in the use of colors and to process them like paintings."

Dufour-Laperrière talked about his Cannes World Premiere because of his Canadian co-production: “Get adult animation features there and put it on very beautiful general film festivals like the Cannes Film Festival.
