The Little Prince

About This Movie

So, The Little Prince (2015) is really something else. Directed in a way that's almost unassuming, it captures this raw, intimate vibe. Oleg Pavlov, the father figure, is both endearing and relatable as he takes on the challenging task of screening Exupery's classic with his kids. The film feels like a home video at times, which adds to its charm. You can see the struggle and joy intertwined in their performances, and the two-year journey of filming makes it feel genuine. The atmosphere is filled with nostalgia and a hint of melancholy, reflecting on childhood and imagination amidst the backdrop of a village recovering from its coal mining days. It's a unique blend of personal narrative and documentary that feels different from typical adaptations.
