Taken from a script by Jacques Tati, French animator Sylvain Chomet creates a magical treatment of the life of an itinerant entertainer. He travels through England and Scotland, eventually settling in Edinburgh. Along the way he acquires a female companion which leads to predictable problems.
A wonderful film...beautiful to look at, sad, moving in tone, great characters...overall a fine evocation of this type of life. This film follows Triplets of Belleville and establishes Chomet as one of the best practitioners of the art of animation operating in the world today.
A treasure.
