Goodbye mister de Vries

Commentary: Goodbye mister de Vries

Mr. de Vries, at the twilight of his life, seems to no longer have hope, but a strange event will bring back his memories. A very beautiful film about memory. The volume, handcrafted animation, without the use of a computer, and the attention paid to the character's expressions, reinforce the theme of the film.
