Idéal

About This Movie

Idéal is a fascinating dive into the world of animation, exploring the haunting beauty of Baudelaire's poetry through a visually arresting lens. Mathilde Nicolas crafts an atmosphere that feels both ethereal and introspective. You’ll notice how the pacing allows moments of reflection, giving weight to the imagery. The practical effects used here are quite striking, blending traditional techniques with modern animation styles. It stands out in how it embodies the theme of transformation—turning darkness into something luminous, which is so very Baudelaire. The performances, although animated, evoke strong emotions, almost as if the characters are wrestling with their own inner demons. It’s a unique piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
