Jérémy Clapin’s directorial debut "J'ai perdu mon corps" intertwined the narratives of the two stories of romantic love between men and women and the attempt to return to the body with a broken hand
. The whole film has a seemingly random and intricate narrative structure. But in fact, they have been carefully designed by the screenwriter
to present the emotional journey of traumatized people and hands in the form of two-dimensional animation. When the body and the severed hand are finally reconnected, "J'ai perdu mon corps" forms a complete cycle, connecting the psychological and physical trauma of the protagonist Laufir. The severed hand is both physical and metaphorical. Sexual. The film is aesthetically surreal. It successfully humanizes a bloody severed hand and elevates this absurd concept into a film worth watching
.

I want to be a pianist, but I also want to be an astronaut, catch the flies, and escape from fate. In all the nights and snowy days when I feel alienated from this world, I want to remember the insects, sea sand, night breeze, and neon dazzling streams that I can touch.

It’s been a long time since I watched such a unique and wonderful cartoon, especially the first half of the narrative uses a lot of montage and music (rather than dialogue) to express the depression, sadness, fear and humor of one hand through close-up, which is not difficult. small. Choosing to be the protagonist by hand is quite complicated. Hands are the most expressive but also the most difficult part of a person's body.
