Editorial Reviews

Director Christian Chaudet has given us a Rossignol for the age of digital communications and globalization run amok: visually fluid and mesmerizing, not a ‘pretty’ piece of exoticism, this film is an extraordinarily imaginative reinterpretation involving live action figures (including the pixieish Natalie Dessay and her avian double) in a three-dimensional computer-generated visual context.
