Miss Saturne

About This Movie

So, 'Miss Saturne' is this animated gem that really captures that wandering, somewhat aimless vibe of youth in 80s Nice. You’ve got Clara, Tom, and Paula, these three teens, drifting through their lives, all while deeply influenced by the New Wave music scene. The animation style has this raw, almost handcrafted feel that complements their quest for meaning beautifully. It's more about the atmosphere than the plot, right? The pacing has this dreamlike quality, which can really pull you in. It’s distinctively moody, teetering between nostalgia and a sense of existential searching, which feels very authentic to the time and place it's set in.

This film is quite elusive in terms of availability, having seen limited releases over the years. A few collectors have noted its rarity on VHS and early DVD formats, which only adds to its charm. Interest among collectors seems to be growing, especially among those drawn to obscure animations that capture that specific era's spirit, making it a quiet yet notable treasure in any serious collection.
