Le renard et l'enfant aka The Fox & the ChildA gorgeous film of a girl's attempts to befriend a fox. The movie is almost like a nature documentary, with some plot elements thrown in.
Better known as The Fox & the Child,
this movie is all about beautiful visuals, and it's a crime it's not
available on blu-ray outside of France. For someone into foxes, the film
doubles as a nature documentary. On top of this, there is a charming story
of the quest of a 10-year-old French girl's attempts to tame the fox, to
become its friend. Adding some tension are incidents like hunters, an
encounter with a bear, and the like.
The only characters in the movie are the girl, and, if you wish, the fox.
Consequently there is no actual dialogue. The modest number of lines that
Bertille speaks to the fox are dubbed in the English release, but at least
the dubbing is unusually well done, partly not even noticeable.
Recommended for anyone who's into nature or cute furry animals.
