April and the Extraordinary World

July 22, 2016 - August 6, 2016

July 22 – August 6 / August 14 at the Buskirk-ChumleyScroll down for times and locations

From the producers of the Academy Award-nominated Persepolis and the mind of renowned graphic novelist Jacques Tardi comes a riveting sci-fi adventure set in an alternate steampunk universe.

Paris, 1941. A family of scientists is on the brink of discovering a powerful longevity serum when all of a sudden a mysterious force abducts them, leaving their young daughter April behind. Ten years later, April (voiced by Academy Award nominee Marion Cotillard) lives alone with her dear cat, Darwin, and carries on her family’s research in secret. But she soon finds herself at the center of a shadowy and far-reaching conspiracy, and on the run from government agents, bicycle-powered dirigibles and cyborg rat spies. Undaunted, she continues her quest to find her parents and discover the truth behind their disappearance.

rated PG / 106 min/ in French with subtitles

WATCH THE TRAILER

The film bestows a sense of otherworldly exhilaration. Who says they don’t make mind-bending French science fiction animated movies like they used to? –NY Times

There is plenty to marvel at in Tardi’s darker, alternate universe Paris, one that’s best watched with open minds and mouths agape at the incredible visual and storytelling imagination on display.–The Playlist

An all-too-rare example of steampunk done right –The Village Voice
