THE FOX AND THE CHILD is a charming 'nature-tale' from the

award-winning writer/director of MARCH OF THE PENGUINS

Luc Jacquet. The film follows a young girl's secret endeavours

to tame a wild fox, and her resulting experiences in the

stunning mountain wilderness of Eastern France. It soon becomes

evident, however, that this is not a mere 'kid befriends cute

critter' narrative, as the film adopts a cautionary tone about

our relationship with animals and our somewhat misguided

understanding of them



Part children's adventure story, part wildlife documentary

THE FOX AND THE CHILD makes use of Jacquet's now trademark

photography, basking in the simple beauty of nature - a

spectacle which is only heightened by the almost entire

absence of dialogue. Kate Winslet narrates this English

language version as the nostalgic voice of the now adult

child recounting the story to her own son, turning the film

into an enchanting fable to be passed down through the

generations. A guaranteed future classic, with enough heart

and sophistication to be enjoyed by the whole family [Spraff]
