Two knights in Italian flannel shirts accompanied by a trusty lion, which is actually a dog, set out to rescue damsels in distress and helpless children from the hands of an ogre. A funny, charming faux-fairy tale about ogres, knights and maidens. In LE MOND VIVANT director Eugène Green (LA SAPIENZA, THE PORTUGUESE NUN) takes on fairy tale tropes and was awarded the renowned FIPRESCI Prize for his efforts. Green explores themes of Lacanian (post-Freudian) philosophy in fairytale language infused with contemporary slang in this refreshingly ironic take on the well-trodden paths of fantasy stories. "Its playful visual vocabulary sustains its own tongue-in-cheek charm." (NY Times)
