From small acorns


The Man Who Planted Trees (1987)

Directed by Frederic Back this animation is based on the short story of the same name. Running out of water a traveller meets a man who plants trees.

As always the animation of Back's style is beautiful to see and it fits well with Giono's gentle story. The story has a real heart to it and covers a large scope of time in it's 20 minutes run time. Enjoyable and leaving the viewer wondering about the deeper meaning this is well worth a watch.

4/5
