"Suicide Shop" is the first literary cartoon directed by French director Patrice Côte. This cartoon is typical of the genre's smooth narrative structure, with some French dark humor and the addition of song and dance to introduce Guan to a world of survival or suicide.
There are six people who are in deep pain and despair in the film. They have no way to solve it and have no way to save themselves, so they went to a suicide store and chose their favorite suicide method to end themselves. Perhaps it is because the director has always directed literary films, so although the cartoon he directed this time created a fairy tale world, it also affirmed the reality, which is different from the specific plot of Hollywood commercial animation.
French films have always sought to be different, and France is a romantic country, which is also reflected in cartoons. "Suicide Shop" is not like the specific plot mode of Japanese anime and Hollywood commercial anime, but uses French dark humor in a gothic style to open the question of life or death. French cartoons have always been different from other cartoons except "Suicide Shop", "Schizophrenia" and "Fear of the Night" are all cartoons in this style.
The biggest turning point in the film is Alan, the son of a suicide shop owner. Aaron's smile did not match this world, and Aaron's smile became the heart knot of the owner of Mishima. The disunity between a smile and the family business, and the birth of a son is also a birth of contradiction, but Allen used his smile to split this dark and deformed world like light.
The plot of "Suicide Store" made the director choose to use cartoons to interpret his attitude towards the magnificence of life and the beauty of life. It is precisely because of the French waveism that makes this dark-themed animated film different.
The film ends with a song and dance. Smiles change this deformed world.
