Renaissance

The film is said to use motion capture technology to capture the action of the actors, and the animation rendering takes care of the background environment and expressions. This virtual space has been combined with the real body. The urban scene shown at the beginning of the film is a bit eccentric, the houses look like a traditional Parisian building that has been preserved to this day, but the huge infrastructure has a typical futuristic character. Like many films about the future, the urban fabric is ruled by traffic.

The director has a great preference for transparency, and there are three things that impressed him deeply. The transparent roof of the car tunnel along the Seine, the suspended president's office and the huge transparent floor of Notre Dame de Paris. The transparent partition is actually very interesting. On the one hand, it completely shows the opposite world, but on the other hand, it becomes an untouchable "scene", and thus breeds desire for this and the other.

This 3D-style black-and-white animation, I like to see black and white change smoothly with the body movements and expressions of the characters. Is this a kind of smoothness?
