'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' Director Created an Underrated Claymation Film
The Big Picture Céline Sciamma is a French screenwriter and director. In 2019, she released one of her most poignant films about freedom and companionship, Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Beyond her great skills as a director, her talent for writing powerfully moving scripts has been proven time and time again. One of her greatest accomplishments was the story she wrote for the claymation film My Life as a Zucchini.
While the representation of the faces and bodies is mostly abstract, the animation of the eyes is what conveys the most depth and emotion of each character. The detailed colorization of the irises and the glassy look of the eyeballs make them incredibly realistic. The motion of the eyes, whether darting or slowly gazing around, perfectly portrays the way a curious child absorbs everything they observe.
'My Life as a Zucchini' Packs a Powerful Punch This story deals with some heavy issues of childhood abuse and neglect. Each of these children is dealing with a unique set of circumstances that led to their abandonment in an orphanage. Many of these circumstances deal with addiction or violent tragedies, and their parents are now dead or in prison. Simon says that the common thread between all of them is “there’s no one left to love us.
The theme of coping with trauma through the support of a found family is one that not everyone can relate to, but it’s one that everyone should learn. Most people who have experienced this type of childhood trauma carry it with them, and that can lead to destructive thoughts and behaviors later in life. A film like this can be wonderfully informative for those that have never had to cope with such trauma.
Finding Happiness After Trauma Is Possible in this Claymation Film For the first few days, Zucchini is emotional and reactionary. All he wants is to be back home with his mom, but he's having to learn about death and change in ways that are challenging for anyone, let alone a 9-year-old boy. Traumatic events change a person, usually for the rest of their lives, but trauma doesn't prevent a person from finding happiness again.
