Chicken with PLUMS
Movie Information
In Brief: World Cinema is bringing back Chicken with Plums, a film that didn't get the attention it should have when it was released a few years ago. Playful, gorgeous to look at, cinematically brilliant and finally heartbreakingly sad, Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi's 2011 film is one of those movies that ought to have played here but didn't. It's a kind of fairy tale that tells the story of a great violinist (Mathieu Amalric) who becomes so distraught over the destruction of his violin that he decides to lie down and die. That he will succeed is evident, but the film is really about what brought him to this conclusion and the great love of his life. A must-see. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on April 28, 2015.
