LEM: Dear friends, please go fuck yourselves.. A Million Miles AwayWritten by Fred Avril and Philippe MonthayePerformed by Alice Lewis.

The movie made me feel the full spectrum of emotions

I laughed, cried a bit, was moved by the deep repercussions of the story. Could've run for 30 minutes more and I wouldn't have been madIt's definitely a beautiful movie too. Animation is good, despite a few low-fps sequences, it still works because of the hand drawn art style and crazy backgrounds.

But first, time to rewatch this one

Knowing what the crew went through, I understand the need for some simpler parts. Designs are inspired, threading perfectly between the obvious references and something really personal. Music's very good and the overall sound mixing was perfect.For a first movie, Périn and Sarfati really set the bar extremely high, I'm really wondering what their next move/movie will be.
