| dbo:abstract | Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (French: Saules aveugles, femme endormie) is a French-Canadian-Luxemburgian-Dutch animated feature film, written and directed by Pierre Földes, released in 2022. An adaptation of six short stories from three short story collections by Haruki Murakami: Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, The Elephant Vanishes and After The Quake, the film is set in Tokyo shortly after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, and tells a surreal story about a bank employee who is enlisted by a talking frog to assist him in saving the city from destruction by a giant subterranean worm. The film's voice cast includes Marcello Arroyo, Michael Czyz, Zag Dorison, Pierre Földes, Jesse Noah Gruman, Katharine King So, John Vamvas, Nadia Verrucci and Shoshana Wilder. To create a version of 3D motion capture animation within a two-dimensional film, Földes filmed the entire script as a live-action "reference" performance, following which the animators replaced the actors' heads with 3D models and then traced and animated their facial expressions. The film premiered in the feature film competition at the 2022 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it was awarded a Jury Distinction. It is slated to have its Canadian premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. (en) |
