It remains fashionable to denigrate the Hollywood Oscars simply because they are... the Hollywood Oscars. Regardless, and without favouring such prejudice, it is true that sometimes, beyond the celebration of the winners, the Oscars lead to the 'erasure' of some of those who did not receive any distinction. It would be a shame if this happened to Little Amélie, a co-production between France and Belgium, directed by the French duo Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han - the film received a nomination for Best Animated Feature, a category won by Popverse. The original title, Amélie et la Métaphysique des Tubes, refers to the book by Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb. The 'tubes' serve as a symbolic designation for human beings born with major organic limitations, to the point of being described as entities that are nothing more than a vegetative existence made of 'tubes' through which food circulates. Such is little Amélie, born into a Belgian family living in the city of Kobe, Japan. With fascinating precocity, the narrator develops a peculiar notion of God, leading her to the disarming logical conclusion that she herself is God. Served by a design of classic formal sobriety, Little Amélie is a film that knows how to avoid the moralism that sometimes contaminates narratives of this genre, ultimately establishing itself as a true moral tale. It didn't win an Oscar, but it deserves to be discovered.
