I LOST MY BODY ***

A severed hand goes in search of the rest of its body in this beautiful and hugely imaginative animated feature from French director Jeremy Clapin while elsewhere, in what appears to be a parallel story, a boy grows up and goes in search of love and his place in the world.  "I Lost my Body" is the kind of animated film that really does qualify as a work of art, (the imagery throughout is gorgeous), though the subject matter probably disqualifies it as being suitable for children, (never mind the occasional sexual reference; the basic concept itself is pretty alarming). The version I saw was the dubbed 'American' print but since the dialogue is always highly intelligent purists have nothing to worry about. If there is any justice this should win the Best Animated Feature Oscar that almost certainly will go to "Frozen II".
