Synopsis

From page to screen: The genius of Quentin Blake

The best stories start when the wind rises! That’s how Jack and Nancy flew away, clinging to a magic umbrella, and how Angèle met a tiny bird that fell from the sky during a storm.

Those two poetic tales, Jack and Nancy (1969) and Petit Chou (2002) are adapted from the personal works of Quentin Blake, a brilliant illustrator and frequent collaborator of Roald Dahl. They are centered on friendship, discoveries, departures… and also the joy of coming home.

Critics

« Rehaussés par une voix off, ces deux courts métrages à l’ancienne reproduisent avec fidélité la signature graphique de l’illustrateur de Roald Dahl. »
