Inseparable **
by Jérémie Degruson
Belgian, Spanish and French film, 1h29
Starting from 7 years old
Associating Don Quixote with a rapper, you had to think about it… This improbable duo, which is like the marriage of the carp and the rabbit, nevertheless works rather well in Inseparablenew production from Belgian studios nWave (Sammy’s Extraordinary Journey, Royal Corgi). Its storyline is predictable but clever and well constructed.
He takes us to Central Park, in the heart of New York, to an old puppet theater, where, like puppet toys, Toy Story, the figurines come to life in the absence of their manipulators. Tired of playing the jesters in his plays, Don, a tall tower with a quixotic appearance, would finally like to play leading roles. His frustration, however, stimulated an overflowing imagination, to the point of mistaking a mop for a terrifying monster… Hallucinations which lead him to set sail to experience adventure in the “wild” lands of the New York park.
Sincerity of tone
It’s there that he meets DJ Doggy Dog, a stuffed animal clad in electronics and endowed with a somewhat mechanical “flow”, which is just waiting to blossom. Over the course of an epic tale that will forge the bonds of an unwavering friendship, both will be led to revise their ambitions to better preserve their souls.
From the dazzling lights of Times Square to the dark sewers of the metropolis, the saturated color settings of the city that never sleeps are carefully filmed (in computer graphics) by Jérémie Degruson. His camera twirls, all the while knowing how to calm down for welcome breaths. The effort must be commended as this type of production too often confuses speed and haste, energy and hysteria. This is not the case in this lovely variation on the strength of friendship and the power of the imagination. Good family entertainment, whose sincerity of tone is not the worst quality.
